Keep it up!
This is pretty well done! Coincidentally, I've been working on a very similar project for a friend of mine, for the exact same reasons. Self-hosted live streaming is definitely the way to go (~8% costs versus ~50% Twitch fees), so it's great to see more independent and open source solutions popping up! I do think it's important to note, however, that self-hosting doesn't legally absolve the streamer from PRO fees for…
Twitch has 0 costs, and provide you with avenues to earn revenue (ads, bits, subs). Your self-hosted platform has some costs, and doesn't have any way to directly monetize via ads or similar.
So, literally none of what you said is reality.

I wonder how do you calculate 8% costs. Also is it possible to include in the calculation the "discovery" service that twitch provides?
As for the calculation, that's based on: 2.9% + 30c card processing, ~3% PRO fees, plus bandwidth and server costs.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Twitch takes 40-60% of everything, so that's not "0 costs." Bits are just donations, and every streamer already tries to get people to donate directly to circumvent Twitch's fees, and subs are possible through Stripe directly, or through Patreon or their self-hosted version. So, literally none of what you said is reality.
When you signup and decide to start streaming, do you have to buy a subscription or pay for something?

Twitch takes a cut, but doesn't "cost" anything. When you signup and decide to start streaming, do you have to buy a subscription or pay for something?
Whereas, what you're suggesting is that the expense magically doesn't even exist, simply because you didn't need to pay it up front. Except that's not how anything works.
