Eeko

A message from our founder, CEO, CTO, HR, marketing and developer... Whether you're worried about the current StreamElements situation or you're just looking to try something new, Welcome to Eeko.

@Hanako_Amaya_ 🙌 great job! we love seeing all the free, community driven projects!

A few days ago I announced stream alerts, and now I'm announcing YouTube video upload alerts... Now all manageable inside the PoiiBot dashboard And as always, all for free. inside the dashboard go to servers>your server>scroll down to YouTube alerts

@Fourthwall 😍

What used to take hours now takes under a minute👀  Create promos, bulk edit products, analyze sales, adjust pricing, and more just by chatting 🗨️

Users of Eeko will always have to pay a subscription yes. The model for devs and artists is not yet finalised but we want to to be flexible and transparent. The code however will belong to you and the agreement you make with your clients will be yours to make. There might be a different model for widgets published to the marketplace vs private widgets sold direct to clients..

@eekoapp D'accord je vois, et libre a moi d'heberger les widgets de mes clients (en tant que designer) chez vous ? Devrons nous tout les deux payer l'abonnement ?

Ouf… StreamElements ne ferme pas ! 🔥 Ce qui est dingue avec SE, c’est que le système de widget custom te permet de faire vraiment tout ce que tu veux. Regardez ca: 10 widgets customs impossible a personnaliser ou meme avoir avec des presets (compteur top 1, progression 70/30, tombola complète, mini-jeu chat…). C’est pour ça que je crée tout dessus. Et vous, quel est le widget le plus fou que vous avez sur votre stream ? 👇

Our main homepage is very much focused on our primary user (streamers) and really describes about 20% of what the platform can do! There is a totally different side to the platform we’ve not released yet that is focused on developers and artists. Some artists can’t code so they can use AI to help them bring their designs to life. Some developers might want to use our AI (or bring their own) to speed up their widget development! Or both don’t use the AI at all and can make use of our SDK and local development harness to hand craft widgets and automations! (Hosted and distributed by us)

@eekoapp Mais de ce que je vois, le gros avantage de votre plateforme c'est de faire coder le widget par l'IA ? Comment mon expérience pourrait etre utile ?

@Mystery_Celeste Streamerbot is a great project if local is what you’re oooking for! Over at Eeko we are proudly cloud first and our systems built around you having to do as little local as possible! Maybe we aren’t for you in the long run but we’d love for you to try us out!

@eekoapp First time I've heard of Eeko 👀 My primary request is having widgets be something we can run/use locally without the use of additional 3rd party sites - StreamerBot is more locally run and could run the widgets if they were built out for it (or other local clients!) :D

My take: Widget Creators: Keep creating your widgets either using your own platform + StreamElements, make your widgets Local-use, make your Widgets for StreamerBot integration. We shouldn't have to rely on a single platform for the widgets to function as intended 🍪

@QuentinDanblon Look forward to having you! The idea is to have a totally unmatched developer experience. We care just as much about the people making the widgets as we do the ones using them

@eekoapp Merci pour la proposition, je vais y jeter un oeil !

@mrboost92 @StreamElements @streamerdotbot Very cool! We hope to see some of your creativity over our side one day!

Been working on a new feature that will convert @StreamElements alert overlays, to @streamerdotbot. A simply download, and drag n drop into your streaming software. Looking for some testers. If your interested. Comment below

@zachbussey Can we cap to 3 viewers ? (Asking for a friend 🥹)

Twitch is looking into bringing back some of the benefits of the Hosting feature.

@Helba_The_AI @StreamElements Refreshing to read a post from someone who clearly understands the problem we put our energy into solving! We are happy to be built on top of @Cloudflare 🧡

Seeing all these new @StreamElements replacements popping up makes me realize that people in this space truly don't understand the cost, scale, and value of what goes into building these types of platforms. You want multiple users, either use oauth or roll you're own auth, both are fragile in their own rights. Want to host other users' content, moderation/legal becomes a minefield of risk that already tanks your idea that it's just some platform. Want to host a WebSocket, these are deceivingly easy but once you get past a few people the scaling and cost become quick to add up including if you are using @Cloudflare as your provider. You want to support custom widgets better be ready to handle latency, unstable connections and more. If you're server is overseas and the clients, you server are in the US they will "love" that massive high latency to load the widget. Hosting the static assets/widgets on the edge is smart but now you get into the world of egress cost, unoptimized image serving, and even just cache in general. At first, I was confused at how @StreamElements was at 300,000/mth in hosting but then I did the math and realized it wasn't there compute, storage or any of that it was there egress costs WebSocket's are massive sinks. This all reminds me of when I worked on IFCE systems and had to load web portals over a GEO connection from 35,000ft while the aircraft was moving at 500+mph it's expensive, it's slow, and it's also deceivingly easy to shoot yourself in the foot so bad you lose every piece of profit you've made. Unless you actually understand what goes into these platforms and their cost to scale and host do not make one you plan to share with people. You will drown in so many problems you will not dig yourself out because you tied everyone to that eco system you created. By time your 100+ users start making overlays and us the platform you're already in massive hosting technical debt from the cost to build the server(s) even if you used GoDaddy for their simple webhosting that solves nothing it just moves the problem to you can't maintain at that size. You could use serverless like vercel or something else those are just traps in the long run because you are building something that functionally doesn't work in those worlds. Please just think before you build something you functionally don't understand. If you want to do it as a experiment to learn the ins and outs sure but don't release it because you will be humbled ruined mentally & technologically. A widget is easy try and make a websocket work across different browsers or make sure the same site works the same across Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox. I say this as someone who runs a website on their homelab that currently sites at 1.4m unique page requests per month. And have a project in the loop that's called Anput.dev in private beta that is a widget distribution platform that has to account for all of this and more.

@LumiaStream 🙌 yay for options!

This is great news for the Streaming World. We will still continue the importer so that streamers have more options available for free and we will be adding a lot more on top of what was previously there like Tip Jars, Stream Bosses, Multi Platform Hype Trains, and more!

@CiariDesigns_ We are working on a feature to let merchants totally customise their pages on our platform, maybe you can bring this with you ? 😇

StreamElements surviving is GREAT but now I’m here after days building my own widget hosting platform like… what now 🫥

@UrbVic Any questions of issues, hit us up on Discord or in the DMs 🫡

👀

@UrbVic Gone but never forgotten! We are here if you need a new online home 🫡

🚨 ¿Estamos viendo el FIN de StreamElements? Durante años fue el REY de las alertas, overlays y herramientas para streamers… pero algo claramente está pasando 👀 Caídas, rumores, cambios extraños y una comunidad cada vez más preocupada. ¿Se viene el colapso definitivo? 👑💥

Welp, I started moving stream stuff out of StreamElements with the rumor of its demise. Going with a local 🤖. What a pain in the ass 🤣

I don't know who needs to hear this, but you don't need to use Streamlabs Desktop or Ultra to use our alerts, widgets, chat bot, overlays, or tips. If you stream with OBS, we also support OBS directly through our plugin and browser sources. And if you're looking to move over existing StreamElements setups, we built an importer to help make that easier. We just want to help creators keep their streams running smoothly. bit.ly/4v0nYgj

@ShockRizal Don’t worry EekoBot will be right there, with you…

Gonna miss StreamElements being your best hype-man when nobody is

I’m only one man, did AI write some of the code, yes… am I also a very experienced software engineer? Also yes… check out the video on our page and let me know what you think. Would love to have you be able to quote tweet this in a month with a different opinion… let me know what you think 🙏

@_HeIsZee @eekoapp Looks like ai slop no thanks

Stream Elements going down :(( what are you guys going to miss the most? For me: Twitch+YT chat widget

@Boomergrounds 🙌 we are pushing an update out tonight and doing the next wave of user roll outs no later than Friday! You’ll get an email as soon as you’re in! Appreciate you checking us out! (If I can get you in sooner I absolutely will)

@eekoapp Can I get access? says I am still on the waiting list. Username TerryTsang 😄

Huge news for streamers: Stream Elements may be going out of business! Their CEO is reportedly looking to sell. Could Kick's CEO be the buyer? youtube.com/shorts/AQxqjME… #gaming #gamer #twitch #fyp #foryou #viral #podcast #StreamElements #Kick #ContentCreator #GamingNews
