Problem Buffer Solves
Buffer addresses the limitations of traditional live streaming platforms by providing a decentralized and user-friendly solution. It empowers creators to:
- Own Their Content: Creators have full control over their content and data, without the risk of censorship or platform restrictions.
- Monetize Directly: Viewers can directly support their favorite creators through donations and rewards in SUI tokens.
- Engage with Their Audience: AI-powered chat bots enhance viewer interaction and facilitate community building.
- Streamline the Process: Simplified stream key issuance and user-friendly interface make it easy to start and manage live streams.
By leveraging the power of blockchain technology, Buffer offers a more transparent, secure, and rewarding live streaming experience for both creators and viewers.
Challenges we ran into
During the development of Buffer, we encountered several challenges, including:
- Integrating the AI Chat Bot: Initially, we faced difficulties in seamlessly integrating the AI chat bot with the live streaming platform. To overcome this, we collaborated closely with the Router Protocol team to optimize the integration and ensure smooth communication between the bot and the platform.
- User Interface Design: Designing a user-friendly interface that catered to both technical and non-technical users was a significant challenge. We conducted extensive user testing and iterative design processes to create an intuitive and visually appealing interface.
- SUI Network Stability: As a relatively new blockchain, the SUI Network experienced some initial stability issues. To mitigate these challenges, we closely monitored network performance, implemented robust error handling mechanisms, and actively participated in the SUI community to provide feedback and support.
