Open-source restreaming and live studio
The open source, self-hosted alternative to Restream, StreamYard, and vMix. Self-hosted multistream studio. Ingest from any source -- OBS, hardware encoders, mobile, browser -- over RTMP, SRT, or WebRTC (WHIP coming soon). Switch between inputs live in a browser-based production switcher. Fan-out to every platform at once: YouTube, Twitch, Kick, Facebook, or any custom RTMP/RTMPS endpoint. One stream in, or many. Every destination, simultaneously. No cloud middleman, no per-channel fees, no limits.

In plain words
This open-source tool enables live stream restreaming and studio operations for video professionals. Built by someone with two decades of video industry experience, it addresses the gap left by commercial-only solutions in this space. The project uses AI-assisted front-end development to streamline the implementation of core streaming and studio features, making it an accessible alternative for those seeking open-source restreaming capabilities.

In the maker’s words, at launch

I wanted to share the status with the Owncast project. If Wordpress is your self-hosted version of Medium, then this is your self-hosted version of Twitch. I've been little by little chipping away at building an easy to use and super useful live streaming server for individuals. It's still early days, but some recent updates include a dashboard where you can see some basic viewer metrics, configuration settings, and how your hardware is handling all that video crunching.

Talanoa▲340Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
