Sorry, yes this is an interface I quickly put together myself using Agora's APIs. I was live for a few hours after posting yesterday. I'm surprised to come back and see the post has some upvotes/interest, so I'll go live again for a while in case anyone sees this.
This is kind of an experiment. Advancements in near-zero latency WebRTC broadcasting mixed with good old iframes have made possible a streaming environment where streamers and viewers can play third party games together without leaving the platform.
This works well with multiplayer games that require no sign up and can have private lobbies shared via a URL. The options now are limited, but it's easy to imagine a future where such games are built with the platform in mind. Games could support the platform's usernames, streamer/viewer distinctions, etc.
Let me know if you have any questions, and I hope you join me for a bit!
Ask HN: What API would you pay for?
That either doesn’t exist or isn’t currently well implemented, as far as you know.
Ask HN: Why don't publishers with ad networks route ads through content domains?
In the eternal battle between ad networks and ad blockers, I'm wondering why ad networks who are also publishers haven't taken the obvious route of hosting ads on their publishing domain? This would make it significantly less easy for me to block their third party script domains.Specifically, why doesn't YouTube put their video ads on the same domain as the videos themselves, or even embed them...
I'm reaching out to everyone who's commented here, thanks all.
Ask HN: Can I make you an admin dashboard for your side project?
I'm working on a service for making/hosting simple admin web dashboards. I'd love beta testers. If I can help myself out by helping you out, I'd be very appreciative. Leave a comment, or my email is in my bio!Edit: added admin
Ask HN: How do you use cron at work?
I'm working on a cron alternative and would love to gather data outside of my own on how people are using this utility.
