anyone know what happened to livecoding.tv?

They rebranded to https://www.liveedu.tv/ and made a lot of product changes that make it unusable.

They used to have a good community going, I streamed there for a little while but everyone seems to shift to Twitch/Youtube.

Genuine question: What is the appeal of watching live coding? Who watches these? I'm watching code all day long, arguing about it, understanding it on my workplace, if I get home, there is no way I want to watch another guy live coding. Maybe doing my own thing when I'm free and not tied to a gazillion rules of how to do things.

I occasionally watch programmers stream, usually it's game devs. I find it quite relaxing, there are usually opportunities to support the developer by offering some knowledge, and I often end up learning something too.

Heya! I’m Armin, I built shipstreams.com. Inspired by Pat Walls building "You Don't Need WordPress" live on Twitch in 24h, I created this list of makers streaming their work! After many hours on Twitch I found many cool people doing so much great work. There is always to learn something while looking over someone's shoulder :) If you want to add yourself and build with us, you can use the Submit Form. - I’m especiall…

Amazing. In sort of a weird mirrored telepresent universe, I clicked on one of the Shipstreams to find the maker checking Hackernews and "shipping live" on Shipstreams. https://ibb.co/hN5b6z

I think the appeal is the same for watching any other high performance. Specifically, it can be entertaining to see how others do things, and there is potential for you to pick up some useful knowledge in the form of a problem solving technique, or maybe a workflow you haven’t considered.

But you can do that by reading code of Open Source projects, which is more effective IMO.

Looks good, but not a big fan of the autoplaying video. If I could click a button and start playing the video instead that would be great.

If they're literally all on Twitch, why would I use this site instead of just searching for software devs via Twitch directly?

I find list useful, I was trying to find such streams earlier with no luck. Unfortunately I only found 2 dead accounts by searching for programming, maybe it is just I am not that familiar with twitch.

Here [0] is a list of currently live streams who have categorized their stream as programming. At time of writing, there's about 50 live streams.
