What it does

Roocast is a session-first system for running paid live experiences with strict access control and simple economics. There’s no discovery feed, followers, or booking complexity. Tickets generate claim links bound to the first device, preventing sharing abuse. Recording and AI notes are built-in, not add-ons. Hosts can instantly clone sessions, and distribution is external by design. It’s infrastructure for turning live attention into clean, enforceable transactions.

The booking, payment, scheduling, and live-session platform for coaches and cohort experts. One shareable link takes payment and drops attendees into a private, device-bound video room.

Share one link. Roocast takes the booking, charges them, schedules the session, and runs the room — so you spend your time on the work that matters, not chasing. Watch an attendee book a paid session and join a private, device-bound video room — no shared links, no calendar wrangling. Set a price and a format — a 1:1 booking or a fixed-time group session — write the description, and publish. You get a clean shareable link, no setup forms in your inbox. An attendee checks out with name, email, and phone — Roocast takes payment on a hosted page, then surfaces DST-correct slots inside your weekly availability. Your earnings are sacred: you receive your offer price, fees added on top. Built-in…from roocast.com

  • RePlaya – self-hosted browser session replay with live tailingJun 2026 · github.com · ▲50

    Hi HN, I'm one of the founders of s2.dev. RePlaya (https://github.com/s2-streamstore/replaya) is a self-hosted browser session replay tool using rrweb (https://github.com/rrweb-io/rrweb). It occurred to me that a durable stream per session would be a much neater architectural foundation for much of what you'd want from such a tool. As a unique feature, it also made live tailing straightforward because the player can read from the same stream the recorder is appending to. The alternative architecture is likely an ingest firehose which is then indexed,…

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
