Stream2Peer is a decentralized video stream management platform built on top of Livepeer. Inspired by StreamYard, this project replicates the core functionalities of StreamYard with added advantages of decentralization, scalability, and enhanced user control. Stream2Peer allows users to broadcast, record, and manage live streams seamlessly using the power of Web3 and Livepeer's open-source technology.

- Monorepo Setup: Organize both frontend and backend codebases in a single repository using
pnpmworkspaces.
-
Frontend:
- Framework: React with Vite for a fast development environment.
- UI: TailwindCSS for styling and flexibility in design.
-
Backend:
-
Streaming & Transcoding:
- Livepeer: Utilized for decentralized transcoding and media handling.
-
Monorepo Management:
- Managed with pnpm workspaces for streamlined dependency management and easy package sharing between the frontend and backend.
Before you begin, ensure you have met the following requirements:
-
