Should I live stream myself coding my project

Hi Fellow Indiehackers,

I've seen a couple of people live stream themselves (not sure if they are from IH) developing their own projects and I've found I've picked up some useful tips and I've seen the developer pick up ideas from people watching their stream, and I am considering giving a try myself.

For those that don't know, I'm currently building a new crash monitoring service called Crash Catch based on ReactJS, PHP and C++ so this is what I would be streaming, primarily focusing on the ReactJS and PHP side, at least initially.

The reasons for wanting to give this a try, seemed like something fun to try and thought either myself might get some good advice either on the development side, or on the actual project side but viewers may also learn something new or get ideas as well for their own projects. Plus, I'm building this for fellow developers so if I can get some feedback as I code then that would be a huge bonus 😀

Plus hopefully I can build a bit of trust with people who then may be more likely to consider using my project whereas at the moment, I'm a bit of an unknown entity so can be hard to get any users.

I've never streamed before, so this may not be something I'd want to do for long, either because I'm just not comfortable streaming or viewers don't find it particularly useful or interesting, considering this as more of a trial run initially.

How I envisage this working is as follows:

• The first stream would be a test run to prove that I am capable of streaming, both in terms of myself, and hardware/connectivity wise (I think the most likely weak point there is myself). This first stream would be a kind of AMA relating to myself, within reason of course, Boardies IT Solutions and Crash Catch, with maybe a run through of what I currently have with Crash Catch and how everything hangs together currently.
• Each stream after the test stream, assuming I continue, would be primarily coding, working on a specific task within the project
• At the moment I don't have any particular timescales of how long each stream will last or when I would stream, but I would expect at least initially it would be a couple of hours, most likely in the evening around 9.30pm UK time and weekends as I have to do this project around my full time job.

Is this something you'd be interested in watching? If so, is there anything in particular you'd want to see or any particular way of doing the stream you'd like?

If you've done this yourself, any advice on what to do and what steps I should take to get started would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris
