Faders is live.
Every Twitch stream has one audio mix. Faders gives each viewer their own voice, game and music sliders.
Streamers add a OBS plugin. Viewers get the browser extension extension. The broadcast itself doesn't change.

The Faders stack so far:
OBS plugin: C, taps audio
Audio: Opus, 500 ms chunks over WebSocket
Relay: @Cloudflare Workers + Durable Objects, never decodes
Extension: plain @JavaScript
Auth: @supabase
Stats: @posthog
Billing: @RevenueCat + @stripe
What would you swap?

I just sat at the tire shop for the last hour shipping with @t3dotcodes. Pretty thrilled with the experience.

Banger news #6:
You know cold email would work for your B2B SaaS or Ecommerce.
You just haven’t started, because doing it right is boring as hell: lists, warmup, templates, sending limits, and one mistake puts your domain in spam.
Introducing:
Claude + Banger: cold email is now one sentence.
“Claude, write to these 200 agencies and offer them a call.”

Drop a 👋 and what you're working on. I'll reply to everyone.

Is having a paid app on the mobile app stores detrimental these days? Is it okay for open source products?

Starting the week off strong with a feature release! Lets go! 🚀
Out now! Your stream. Your fader names.
Mic, Discord, Music — name your tracks to match your setup. Save once in the Faders portal. The names update in OBS and your viewers’ extension.
Some browser extensions are waiting for review. Fader names available once approved.

Your phone's clock is lying to your sync.
Set one phone 5 minutes fast and plain last-write-wins hands it every conflict.
In my budgeting app each field carries a logical-clock timestamp, and sync compares field by field. An amount fix and a category change both survive.

How do OBS plugin devs feel about these major version releases? Seems like lots of things break. Though I saw release candidates to prepare so not sure if this is just noise.

Crazy that the model you use is getting to the level of a liable or compromised library to your stack
I've said this a few times but I really want to emphasize it:
This isn't the usual "gemini is silly and 5-10% behind the other labs".
Gemini is a straight up liability in your stack. Any engineer who thinks it's usable should not be taken seriously.

It’s been a heavy week here. To anyone else in the same state, take a beat with me to reset and kick ass next week! 😎

Launch week chicken-and-egg:
Streamers won't add an OBS plugin until viewers ask. Viewers won't add an extension until their streamer has it.
So I'm starting with streamers. On Twitch and want viewers to set their own voice/game/music mix? Free: faders.tv

Two people edit the same transaction offline. Whose change wins?
In my budgeting app: both, usually. Each field carries its own logical-clock timestamp, and sync compares field by field. Newest write wins per field, so an amount fix and a category change both survive.
