Been looking at streaming.
Streamer broadcast apps (e.g. prism, larix, etc) are dumb pipes that push video from a phone or other device to a server for their viewers.
But streamers don't just want to output video, they want to see and respond to live chat.
No open source streamer apps provide this. Only centralised apps do (e.g. the twitch app provides this but only for twitch chat).
If only there was an open source chat standard that could be integrated into streamer broadcast apps.
Streamers go out of their way to configure their setup, so managing keys would be little extra work.
Viewers can be anon or transient and don't need to know their live chat is riding Nostr rails.
Sovereign streaming seems very aligned to Nostr ethos.
