Hello everyone โฅ
I have been made aware of the rumors circulating around StreamElements possibly shutting down. While their official statement regarding the situation does not instill confidence, there is still a chance the platform could be acquired or continued in some form.
That said, even if it does happen, this tells us that relying entirely on a single platform is not ideal long term. While it may buy us some time, it tells me alternative solutions for widgets is still necessary moving forward. Though we likely cannot cover every possible platform. So finding something majority of customers will be comfortable using, and swapping to will also be a challenge. If any of you have feedback on services you all like to use, that would be most appreciated.
Your patience and understanding during this transition period would truly mean a lot, and I'm sure not just to me, but all widget creators.
I completely understand many of you are worried as it also affects your streams, and Iโm truly sorry for the inconvenience and any stress this situation may cause. I sincerely appreciate everyoneโs kindness, patience, and support while we navigate the best way forward.
Lastly, I know many of you were looking forward to the release of some of the new projects Iโve teased, and while those projects are not abandoned, this situation will likely delay their release for a while. Right now, my priority needs to be focused on finding solutions and alternatives for existing widget products before I can comfortably move forward with new releases.
Thank you for your time and reading. If anyone has any suggestions, we are open to hearing them, as it may even help other widget creators as well, as we are all in this together.
