streamer.live

Streamer communities tend to grow across a pile of disconnected services: a homepage in one place, a blog in another, a Discord bot for announcements, a Twitch embed, and a storefront whose catalog has to be maintained separately. I built streamer.live as a self-hosted CMS that brings those pieces together without taking control of the creator’s site or audience.

From stream to community

The Twitch integration monitors live status, title, category, and game, then uses that state throughout the site. Pages can embed the stream and chat, and a customizable banner tells visitors when the channel is live. The Discord bot turns the same event into targeted announcements: each category can carry its own message, destination channel, and role mention rather than sending every notification to everyone.

A CMS, not just a stream overlay

The page builder combines reusable, drag-and-drop content blocks with a WYSIWYG editor, templates, slugs, and SEO metadata. A built-in blog adds posts, categories, comments, and thread locking, so the creator’s long-form content lives beside the stream instead of becoming another external profile.

Fourthwall integration syncs merchandise into filterable collections and product pages, then hands the shopper back to Fourthwall for cart and checkout. The creator gets a storefront that matches the rest of the site without copying product data between systems.

Administration and moderation

Filament powers the administration dashboard, including granular permissions, user and stream analytics, IP allow and block lists, account bans, and a dedicated moderator panel. Akismet and StopForumSpam screen community interactions so moderators can concentrate on people rather than automated noise.

Built with

Laravel 11 with Jetstream, Filament, Livewire, and Alpine.js on the application side; Bootstrap, jQuery, and TinyMCE on the front end; and the Twitch, Discord, and Fourthwall APIs for the integrations. The project is MIT licensed and open-source. It remains under active development, and its public documentation currently cautions against production use while the platform is changing frequently.
