think this is spot on. allude to this here https://acehigh.substack.com/p/operatingproduct-plan-for-twi...

to add to your point: 1/ tech stack/architecture isn't #1 or even #10 issue. think everyone (all) agree on this 2/ larger issue is how to handle open discourse. given how we are wired as species, is there a social network that is truly open that doesn't descend into vitriol? if so - what behaviors are rewarded, what are the policies etc. - this is #1 question

We don't have a whiteboard. Could you please elaborate what you'd like to do? So is that just ability to draw on canvas - and both guests and hosts can draw on canvas?

We can add anything (all possible), but want to make sure we get 100% what you want. Elabroate?

If I customize the screen, can I save the items and positions and reuse that in other stream a few days later?

exactly. everything saved. there are also notions of profiles so all other visual settings (banner/ticker/font/themes etc.) can be saved and re-used

It's slightly confusing and my guess is that people does not care if you or VISA is taking a cut.

>Do the streamer have to pay upfront? Do streamer prefer to pay instead of "sharing" a part of the donations? (I think this is the twitch model.)

could word that better. meta point is that we do not intermediate between the supporter/community and creator. on twitch and youtube - if you donate - the platform (twitch/youtube) take a cut. that is standard for native donation experience on platforms or on mobile (iOS). we take no cut so max % of funds (minus processing fees which are outside our control) go from community to creator. and this donation/monetization feature is unique to us - > that was the spirit of the post

good questions

Melon is a simple way to create professional live streams with ease directly from your browser. Reliable, lighting fast, and packed with unique features to help you customize your show.

We built Melon to democratize live-streaming. Individual entrepreneur/creator is the future and we'd like to play a small part in supporting this movement.

With melon you can:1) host a private peer to peer call (like zoom); 2) invite guests with ease; 3) go live to one or many platforms at the same time; 4) record, share screen, customize your shows

What makes melon different from competitors:

1) donations = your community can support you and 100% of the funds (minus processing fees) go to the creator (we do not take a cut)

2) real-time alerts to recognize your fans

3) ability to drag/resize certain elements on screen

4) deepest customization/personalization

5) ease of use = one of the core design principles is that you can get started in just a few clicks

6) more affordable = more value for $

Happy to answer any questions. Would love blunt feedback on what we can add to make it useful to HN community.
