Better Space v1.0.0 Release

Better Space is an open-source, low-latency live audio space platform powered by LiveKit SFU, Next.js 16, and Bun.

Key Features

Host and Co-Host Moderation

  • Stage Management: Strict 8-speaker stage capacity with live speaker and listener counters.
  • Role Hierarchy: Main host with support for up to 2 active co-hosts.
  • Permissions Control: Granular Grant Mic, Remote Mute, Revoke Mic, and Kick/Ban mechanisms.
  • Interactive Mic Queue: Real-time mic request queue with instant Accept/Decline actions and toast alerts.
  • Graceful Host Reconnection: 60-second grace countdown ensuring temporary reloads or dropped connections do not terminate spaces prematurely.

  • Per-Space Identity Locking: Persistent identity keyed per active space with complete freedom to choose fresh handles and avatars for new spaces.

Progressive Web App (PWA)

  • Installable Web App: Custom Web App Manifest (manifest.webmanifest) with vector app icons and standalone display mode.
  • Optimized for Mobile: Touch-friendly controls, safe-area inset adaptation, and non-scrollable compact popovers.
