AngelThump

Yo

I hope you guys are doing well and I thank you guys and gals for the continued support on AngelThump!

The biggest update for patreon is the ability to use twitch chat on your channel page when you are the broadcaster tier ($10) instead of broadcaster pro ($30). If you think it should be free or lower, please let me know.  I've been thinking of adding a chat service to the platform to try and grow the community, but I don't know if it is wanted or not.

I have unpublished the B...

It's been awhile. Welcome to AngelThump v2!

Haven't really posted anything in a very, very long time, so I wanted to check in with some updates.

Over the past few months, I have been rewriting most of the core features to try and improve user experience. Check out our GitHub to see what changed. More things to be open sourced soon!

Video Backend

It was certainly hard with the service being limited on DigitalOcean as we can't have Po...

Patron Incentives

What would you guys like to see? I would like some ideas so I can attract more patrons and offer more cool things for you guys instead of just a patreon server to watch on.

Link your accounts to AngelThump!

To make this work you to do the following:

* Be a $5 Patron or higher

* Create an AngelThump account https://www.angelthump.com/signup with the same email as your patreon email!

* Link your account through your dashboard or through this link! https://www.angelthump.com/patron

Then enjoy your new features such ...

Password Protect Your Streams!

You can now password-protect your stream as long as you are a patron!

Head over to https://angelthump.com/dashboard/patreon to enable this today! You have to be email-verified and a patron!

In other news, I have added more edge servers and better ingest servers to help with the lag some of you faced. 

Most of the lag is pretty much gone, but I know some of you will still have problems. The...

Email Verification/Password Resets/ETC

It's been a very busy month for AngelThump. I have now added Email Verification/Password Resets to the site which is fucking fantastic because every functional site should have it. Unfortunately, I will have to wipe the database. :( boo hoo, you get a shit ton of features with this so fuck off.

ALL CURENT PATRONS PLEASE SEND ME A NEW DM WITH YOUR NEW USERNAME ON ANGELTHUMP AND EMAIL ON PATREON BY EMAIL/DGG/PATREON DM TO ACCESS THE SERVER ONCE AGAIN. (it may take up to a day because I need slee...

Updates

$1 patrons will no longer be available for the patreon-only server. $5+ will be available for the patreon-only server. I made this change because I am not making enough money on patreon to pay all the AngelThump bills and I do not want to use my own money to pay the rest. I have other bills & expenses to take care of then to spend my money on a 'hobby'. Don't get me wrong, I would love to, but I am not made out of money.

I have been working hard on the site still. I have added numerous api...

Upgraded to Feathers Auk

I have rewrote the AngelThump site to be inline with the new version of Feathers (Auk) which will help me bring in better features like password resets, email verification, etc. Those features will come in the next few days/weeks depending on how busy I will be.

I have also updated every dependency that is currently being used on the site/video player/rtmp servers. The only thing that will need to wait on is the new version of videojs 6 because most of the plugins that our video player uses is...

Updates

Hey all,

I've been having more free time lately and I used that time to improve the site.  These changes are boring and not really appealing to the normies, but they do help in a way.

I have migrated the database and the webserver to seperate servers as they were all on one server with the NA-INGEST-SERVER. It is cheaper to have them on one server, but it should help with the load on the server.

I rewrote most of the AngelThump site while I was migrating it and it will again b...

The Future of AngelThump

AngelThump has been up for 7 months now and it has been great. If you guys didn't know, AngelThump didn't start as a streaming platform. It was so I can stream GOT without getting banned from USTREAM. I decided to expand the platform to the community and with the help of Cake and hephaestus, we started up AngelThump. 

There have been so many problems with the platform and I have fixed most of it. One of the biggest ongoing problem is: stability. Even with the immense su...

Patreon server is up!

Good news guys! Patreon server is up and running. All you need to do is contact me via pm here or on the chat and sign up on the site @ www.AngelThump.com

Make sure you sign up on the site with the same EMAIL as your patreon email otherwise I cannot verify your identity.

Feel free to contact me with any problems.

Thanks again with the tremendous amount of support!

I will continue to update the site with new features and stability.

Update

I will start the donater server as soon as my finals are done. Finals are next week. So by next weekend, hopefully I will have more updates and see how I can implement this.

$100 goal & update for donator goals

We are almost at the $100 goal AngelThump! It will help me pay no costs for servers + other fees likes G-Suite (for emails) and AWS Geo-DNS costs (Helps direct you guys to different servers located close to you). Thanks for the help!

I am thinking of reworking the donator goals (for the tenth time). Instead of having a server for an individual server for $20, I am probably going to open up servers for $5 pledges and up. It will take some time to setup because it is a whole different system to ...
