Score: 6.8/10 (Innovation: 6, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

A self-hosted 'talk to a real person now' video chat widget for websites, built entirely on Cloudflare's serverless stack (Workers, Durable Objects, D1, KV, R2) with WebRTC via RealtimeKit. It provides a shared queue across multiple sites with round-robin agent assignment, invitations, and an inbox—an interesting combination of edge computing and real-time communication that removes the need for third-party SaaS.

Target audience: backend devs, devops, full-stack developers, support teams
