# I Built a Live Stream Discovery Feature for PromoHub

I Built a Live Stream Discovery Feature for PromoHub

I've been experimenting with a new feature for PromoHub: live stream discovery.

PromoHub started around discovering and promoting communities, but I've been exploring ways to make the platform useful for discovering other types of content as well.

That led me to build /live.

What /live Does

The idea is simple: give people a place to discover streams that are currently live without having to search through multiple platforms separately.

The first version supports streams from Twitch and Kick.

It currently includes:

  • Live stream discovery
  • Viewer counts
  • Categories
  • Search
  • Filters
  • Sorting by viewers
  • Automatic live stream updates

Here's what the feature looks like:

Why I'm Testing It

I don't want to assume that every feature I build is automatically useful.

That's why /live is currently a limited 1-week test.

During the test, I want to learn:

  • Do people actually use it?
  • Do they browse multiple streams?
  • Are the filters useful?
  • Is sorting by viewers useful?
  • What information is missing?
  • Would people come back and use it again?

The answers will help me decide whether /live should become a permanent part of PromoHub.

Try It

If you want to test it, you can find it here:

I'd especially appreciate feedback from developers, streamers and people who regularly discover content on Twitch or Kick.

If you try it, let me know what you think and what you'd change.

This is exactly the kind of experiment I want to run while building PromoHub: build something, put it in front of real users, learn from the results, and improve it.
