It shows you who is live coding next in the Laravel world.

Installation Steps

Setup

In order to import videos from YouTube you need:

  • Fill YOUTUBE_API_KEY in your .env file
  • Visit / and login with a user from UserTableSeeder or create your own one
  • Import a stream by providing the video id
  • The video needs to be a scheduled live stream in the future

Roadmap

  • Backup DB (Laravel Backup)
  • RSS Feed
  • Better timezone support (using timezone through browser
  • Automatically check for updates on stored streams
  • Automatically fix styles on PRs (after PR is merged)
  • Add Twitter channel import to load its upcoming live streams
  • Show when a stream is currently live
  • Store the description of a stream too, so we can use it for the calendar
  • Calendar link for every event
  • Twitter integration (tweet when stream is live)
  • Mocking Twitter so we can get off the production check
  • Archive with old streams
  • Streams of stored channels will be imported automaticall (every hour)
  • Pagination for archive page
  • Approval flow (planned by Freek)
  • Add Twitter tag to Twitter posts about streams that go live (only for stored channels)
  • Add search to archive (when archive ready)
