nice, I'm actually doing the same with one of my projects
see you guys there
I'll shoot you a PM. I'm actually really interested in what you do! Will you be attending both days and the after party?
If I was a large streamer and relied on Twitch for my income, I personally wouldn't sign up and rely on this simply because it's "Free during beta". I'd want some assurances on what the fees might look like when you guys decided to move out of beta.
This is actually an eye-opening piece of feedback, thanks Jake.
How do you plan to monetise with the existance of the free solutions?
We have a couple of ideas, but we honestly aren't sure yet. Yah, we're an app with near 1,000 hours of production time and still haven't committed to a monetization strategy, so there's that. We're just talking with our users right now and making decisions based on their feedback.
In regards to your features, can a streamer use your service to have an animation or image pop up when a donation is made? You could also set up tiers that allows the streamer to set more exciting images/animations the higher the donation amount so that viewers are encouraged to donate more.
Yes, a streamer can use the service to show follower, subscriber, and/or donation alerts and make them completely custom. That's just one of the many "widgets" we offer, and we do it in a very intuitive drag and drop editor that is 100% web-based.
Also, did you design the landing page? It looks sweet. I saw a credit in the css to Daniel Eden (is that you?), I don't know if that's for the whole page or one aspect of it.
Yup, I'm the UI designer and developer on our 3-man team. I'm opposite an incredibly talented architect as well as a fellow gay webmaster, blureach.
I think Daniel Eden is the author of animate.css, an animation library we're using for some of the notification effects.
Finally someone posts a "need feedback thread" and the site is not a disaster. This looks very nice. Have you considered some icons on feature list?
I would love to add some icons next to our feature list, but I'm having a hard time thinking about appropriate icons for each service and it seems expensive to sit down and think through each one of them. I might opt for some templated icons, but I haven't found any good sets yet. Any recommendations?
