Why do you require creating accounts in order to view stuff?

  Initially we did it because we only had a small server cluster, but you are right, this is a requirement we should remove.

  Yes thats very annoying don't do that. Requiring login for commenting/chat is ok, but just for viewing is not.

    You should be able to watch livestreams and videos without logging in now. :)

Will you be creating a mobile application for Livecoding.tv? It's not even usable at the moment on iPhone via Safari. Also a suggestion: timestamps would be pretty useful in chat.

  Hi - Yes we will definitely be creating a mobile app at some point. Thanks for your suggestion as well about timestamps, if you have any other suggestions you can add them to our Roadmap here: http://roadmap.livecoding.tv/ http://roadmap.livecoding.tv/

    I'd be happy with an HTML5 video player for now. Is that planned as well? Actually, I think I even preferred that over an app. Edit: Oh, there already is a request for that.

Will you be adding more customization of the "User" or is all customization per channel? It was difficult to figure out how to set an avatar at first, I had to go under my stream page and edit there, rather than in the settings. Maybe I'm confused between the distinction between a user and a stream?

  You can think of your channel as like your profile - so that is where the customization happens. It should perhaps be made clearer where you should upload your avatar, thanks for the feedback.
