Development

OPERATIONAL Private development platform

The streamer dashboard, Twitch integration and OBS widgets are fully developed and used in live production. The platform remains a private technical project while new workflows are tested; it is not presently being promoted as a public product or service.

Current work

Interactive Music Pilot

September 2026

Audience-directed music for live broadcasts

A controlled, low-volume experiment is being developed around Twitch Channel Points. A loyal viewer submits a creative brief, an authorised music-generation provider creates a fast-tempo track, and the completed audio is returned to a managed OBS source for playback during the livestream.

Sidechained OBS source

Designed for restraint: scarce redemptions, low generation volume and no automated catalogue publishing.

Designed for compliance: official provider access only; no session-cookie wrappers, CAPTCHA services or private-interface automation.
