I've been streaming a second monitor most weekend for the last month on thing ranging from writing blog posts to building iOS apps. The hard thing has always been trying to separate config files & notifications from user-visible streams.
I think it would be interesting to have the stream be text input aware, so that it can showcase the text currently being selected or edited in a way that highlights it better. That and/or either having window specific zooms. I know up-front what the interesting Apps I'll be working in are.
Also, it's a real hassle to keep open a chrome instance to chat, allowing XMPP or IRC would mean I could have a native app for communicating with the streamers.
- chippy 12y agoTwitch uses IRC for their chat, what platform are you streaming on / using?
- orta 12y agoI've been using twitch.tv, but found the IRC to be unreliable. I tried multiple IRC clients and they disconnect and reconnect regularly, and often miss messages which appear on the website.
- swirlycheetah 12y agoI've had this mentioned a few times that video is perhaps not the best medium to share something like a live coding session. I can understand that and I've got some interesting ideas to play with around alternatives at some point. I think in terms of a devv.tv MVP it'll probably be video embed to begin with though.
