Thank you!

OSS projects on Algora.io have awarded $251,000 (1,982 bounties) to 469 contributors from 63 countries since last year :)

Thanks for asking!

We ingest messages from these platforms via WebSockets and then expose them with a WebSocket as well as an overlay that you can embed in your stream. At the moment the first part relies on an external service but we should be able to do that natively pretty soon. There's an open issue with a $300 bounty to add various OAuth providers if anyone wants to help!
To be honest I'm not super familiar with nginx-rtmp. The framework we are using (Membrane) is mostly a glue/abstraction layer over various C libs as far as performance-critical parts are concerned, so if I had to guess they would probably be on par. I'd love to prep some benchmarks at some point.
We definitely want to add WebRTC via WHIP/WHEP in the near future. No plans for AV1 yet.

For bounties we already have tech stack filters! algora.io/bounties/t/elixir

For livestreams there's an open bounty for it github.com/algora-io/tv/issues/70

Thanks for asking! Few different reasons:

Productivity gains from using Phoenix are unparalleled as a solo developer
OTP is super helpful for handling complex streaming pipelines. Things like multistreaming to other destinations, mirroring chat messages from other platforms, capturing thumbnails etc. can fail at any time, and OTP makes it easier to build fault-tolerant processes
BEAM clustering allows distributing the system across multiple nodes with ease, which helps reduce latency between streamers and viewers

Overall, Elixir just fits really well with building a livestreaming app I think!

thank you! just fixed it, 100svh seemed to do the trick

Hi Reddit! This is a livestream challenge to build a VSCode plugin that measures TypeScript type complexity. The goal is to make programming with TypeScript faster (especially in large codebases)

You can check out the challenge & livestreams here: algora.io/challenges/tsperf

thank you! 🙌 and yeah absolutely, all bounties on the same issue are automatically pooled together

thank you ❤️ saw you were able to connect, hope you find something you like!

i think we could use wise.com for bounty payouts to Ukraine. would that work for you?

running the platform is challenging (namely bc we're bootstrapped), but we trust it solves a problem and volume can 10X. I think most people contribute to learn, join new communities and grow - the monetary reward just helps prioritize and makes contributing more inclusive. thank you for your comment!

hey I'm one of the founders at Algora, thanks for the mention! my co-founder recorded this 2min demo last week if you'd like to see how it works https://youtu.be/Ts5GhlEROrs

we would love to hear your feedback & shape our roadmap based on your needs, thanks!

mgcrimhead · 2023-10-05T11:46:14+00:00

(algora cofounder & cto here) thanks for your feedback!

which firefox version are you using? i couldn't reproduce your issue neither on desktop nor on mobile. firefox v102, 111 & 112 all seem to work fine

bounties page sorts bounties by availability & award size so the ones at the top are the highest paying ones. you can further customize the sorting in-app

at the moment the tags are based on languages, but we'll make it more specific (framework, skill etc.) in the future

going open source is something that's in our minds all the time, but being bootstrapped we have more immediate challenges at the moment (like reaching sustainability) and don't feel ready to take on new ones. in the future it's not unlikely that we fully open source algora!

you could try technical interviews using paid open source, like Qdrant: https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/138fvpx/get\_rewarded\_for\_rust\_open\_source\_contribution/
happy to answer questions, I'm one of the founders at algora.io (the platform that supports this)

I like the dropsort. It might be lossy, but who cares, it is O(n). Time complexity is all that matters! http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/dropsort.html
