Each time there's a Ludum Dare or someone prolific livestreams themselves coding (usually Notch) I get all excited and want to do the same but I can never find a website or platform which really caters to coders. Am I alone in this? Is there somewhere? Is there actually any demand for this?

Either way, I've created a quick landing page to see if anyone would actually be interested in a live streaming site specifically for coding - http://devv.tv

It's nothing pretty but some validation or feedback before I jump head first into this would be amazing.

Hi, I'm also working on a plataform with focus on streaming live-coding. I would love to talk with you about how to tackle that space. You can contact me at schmitt.hansy at gmail.com.

I've had this idea as well. It would really scratch my own itch so I definitely hope someone makes it!

Focusing on live coding would open up a lot of possibilities as well. How about hooking up the source code next to the stream in real time? The ability to paste snippets to the audience etc etc.

[swirlycheetah]

Yes! These are definitely the sort of features I'll be looking to build as I think they'll be key to gaining attention by offering something not available as seamlessly elsewhere.

I would love for this to exist. I've thought about streaming on twitch before but it is apparently against their ToS to stream anything which isn't video games.

[swirlycheetah]

It's against their TOS to stream anything which isn't video game related, which means you're allowed to stream development of a video game but most likely not of a website or app (not sure about a video game website or app...).

I aim to make discovery and categorization much easier. It's pretty difficult right now on twitch to find someone streaming game dev, if you add into the mix only wanting to see streamers using specific languages (e.g. JS) or specific tools (e.g. Unity) then things get exponentially more difficult.

I want to make interactions more useful and clear than what you currently get with twitch. Allowing things like code snippets, markdown, line number references, live source code updates should go a long way towards this goal.

There is http://devstream.tv/ which is just a listing of relevant twitch streams.

Signed up. Please make it work on Linux (I use xmonad on Ubuntu).

[swirlycheetah]

Thanks! Will certainly add this to the list. Out of interest what's support for live streaming like currently for you?

Might want to make that email input type="email"

Either way, signed up.

[swirlycheetah]

Thanks for signing up, will take a look at that input type.
