The project has two parts:

• client: Windows desktop app written in Go using WebView2
• server: Node.js WebSocket relay for room sync

Build the Windows app:

cd client
go build -ldflags="-s -w -X main.appVersion=0.3.0" -o togetherly.exe .

Run the relay server:

cd server
npm install
npm start

togetherly does not stream your video. It sends small room metadata through the relay server, including play, pause, seek, timestamp, ready status, and video filename/title plus duration for the same-video check.
