What it does

This is a platform where creators perform live online shows (like dance, comedy, plays, and the list goes on...) for live audiences. There is also a chat feature, where the users who are part of the same show can chat in realtime while they are watching it.

Built using

• ReactJS
• NodeJS
• Redis as an in-memory database
• Node-Media-Server for video streaming
• Socket.io for realtime-chat
• Web Monetization API + Coil for monetizing content

Challenges I ran into

• Handling creator data in the backend and storing it efficiently using built-in Redis data structures.
• Fetching all the shows asynchronously(using promises), and resolving them was tricky.
• Figuring out a way to load & play the live stream on the browser without clashing between other sessions was really challenging.
