Have you ever heard of Owncast? We hadn't until recently, but apparently we've been building a similar self-hosted streaming concept for Nostr without even knowing Owncast existed. 😄
Owncast is self-hosted streaming software. You're responsible for managing and configurating the complicated server stuff needed to deliver your stream to viewers. Owncast is also not compatible with Nostr or Bitcoin.
But we took a very different route.
LFL lets dedicated Zap Stream backend providers handle the heavy video infrastructure while we focus on the streamer's frontend, Nostr network, Lightning, discovery, interaction and monetization.
Different architectures. Similar belief.
Any Owncast users reading this?
LFL is waiting for you. 🥳
