Available Developers?

[Kevin Krieg]

We're looking for developers who would be able to create a custom desktop application using the core OBS core. Briefly the application would have the following goals:

* Simplify the UI for non technical users
* Use our chat API eliminating the need for the user to run multiple applications
* Call additional utility API's

Has anyone done something similar or interested in a new challenge?

https://obsproject.com/mantis/view.php?id=432 would allow to write own applications, that remote control OBS, but I'm not sure if you could have live previews of input feeds in a custom frontend (e.g. electron).

The opposite way would be to use the browser plugin and let it render a web frontend for instance, which can make calls to local and online APIs I assume. It is possible to interact with a browser source in OBS, but you have to right-click > and chose Interact and it will open a new window for that. If you only want to read chat messages, that is not a problem.
