The Story So Far...

StreamSounds has been a nights-and-weekends project of mine for just over a year at this point. The goal of StreamSounds is to provide cloud-based tools that Twitch streamers use to grow their streams, become Twitch Partner, and ideally be able to turn their stream into a career if they so desired.

I originally got the idea for StreamSounds while complaining to a friend over lunch. I was trying to move away from using StreamLabs ChatBot (desktop app) after I received horrible customer service from StreamLabs. I had moved over to StreamElements, but couldn't find a way to create cloud-based sound commands in StreamElements (or any other cloud-based tool), so I figured I could build it myself.

I prototyped StreamSounds while traveling to visit some family members and after I got the prototype working for myself, I decided that there was a lot more I could do with this idea. I decided that I could build something that would work for not just myself, but for anyone who wanted to have sound commands via a cloud-based offering.

I rewrote the prototype and offered it as a publicly-available tool on August 28th, 2020 for other streamers to use. It was incredibly simple, very ugly, did one thing, but it worked.

Since then, I've implemented some features based on user feedback, and am looking forward to rolling out my next big update, which is channel points integration. Not sure when channel points integration will be done, but more streamers are taking notice of StreamSounds and following along for status updates. One of my main goals is to have subscription billing built into the product before the end of the year.
