    Ghost is probably a good example to investigate. Their software is open sourced and easy for anyone with a server and some technical knowledge to get up and running. They offer a p…

    I tried to participate in 24pullrequests this year but failed on the first day for exactly the reason mentioned in the article; I was forcefully searching for issues to fix in proj…

    I don't think I ever received an email from you. Feel free to get in touch at chris {at} devv {dot} tv if you want to chat.

    No I don't think it's overreacting at all, I've got this listed as a reason people may not want to stream. If I could solve the problem then it'd be one less barrier. Thanks for yo…

    It's great to hear people want to stream! The sensitive information issue is certainly a valid concern and something I'd be worried about personally too when streaming. I'm not sur…

    Appreciate the insight and feedback. There's been some really great discussion in this submission about the pros and cons of live streaming code but this is a real deep dive into w…

    I can imagine you'd feel a little more under the microscope so may be either prone to errors or may be so wary of errors you'll be overly cautious. Either way I think that'd be som…

    I've watched plenty of stream and I agree sometimes there can be dull moments. The same could be said for any type of live stream though. Often this is down to the streamer rather …

    Yes, I agree that some of those answers currently hold true. But what's to stop them changing? I feel most of those issues you mentioned can either be solved with technological sol…

    I'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 ide…

    Thanks for the encouragement. One of the first places I actually went with my idea was /r/gamedev ( https://www.reddit.com/r/gamedev/comments/2ekkeg/im_thinking... ) where I got so…

    Haha, I will actually be doing that! Probably over on hitbox.tv to begin with, eventually porting over to devv.tv once I've actually built something.

    Thanks for the kind words. Your final paragraph is the exact issue I'm working on solving now. The general gist I'm getting is that people often feel insecure about streaming their…

    Thanks for the good luck message. Yup it's certainly all very new right now. I'm having to learn quickly but it's something I'm passionate about and it's been nothing but fun so fa…

    Person behind devv.tv here. I built this landing page at the end of the last Ludum Dare compo/when Notch began streaming his Doom build. I'm currently trying to think of ways to at…

    It's against their TOS to stream anything which isn't video game related, which means you're allowed to stream development of a video game but most likely not of a website or app (…

    Yes! These are definitely the sort of features I'll be looking to build as I think they'll be key to gaining attention by offering something not available as seamlessly elsewhere.

    Thanks! Will certainly add this to the list. Out of interest what's support for live streaming like currently for you?

    Thanks for signing up, will take a look at that input type.

    Each time there's a Ludum Dare or someone prolific livestreams themselves coding (usually Notch) I get all excited and want to do the same but I can never find a website or platfor…

    Can I add http://wowsuch.io to the mix? It's rather simple right now but I'm actively working on new features right now.
