To The Community

I hope you have read the first letter I wrote in early July; if not, I recommend giving it a quick read. It can be found in the Announcements channel in Discord.

I am overwhelmed by the support and response I received from the first letter. I appreciate all the kind words and the support that everyone has shown; it means more than most probably realize. This past year has been rather stressful while being out of work and struggling to find anything. It was stressful to even say it publicly. As it stands, nothing has changed, and I’ve been putting my all into Streamer.bot, which is the only thing that has been keeping me afloat.

I’ve been working on Streamer.bot for over 5 years, and we are coming up on 4 years since the public release. I’ve kept it free this entire time as a passion project. It’s my intention for it to remain free indefinitely. Over those years it has continued to expand and grow into so much more than I thought it would be. Nevertheless, 1.0 will bring some new advanced features that will cost money to implement and support, so they will be supporter perks only available to those subscribing to the lowest Thank You Patreon tier. To be perfectly honest – the more support there is on Patreon overall, the more that can be kept free. On that note, it was originally declared that the forthcoming Kick Integration would be limited as a supporter perk. However, due to all the support, the Kick integration will be part of the core of Streamer.bot, and will be free for all to use.

I need to just keep reiterating this, thank you, sincerely, thank you to everyone who has been using Streamer.bot over the years. Thank you for all the support, all the kind words, and for the community that has been built up around this project. Part of me still can’t believe I have created something like this, that has spawned so much. Streamer.bot and Speaker.bot are not going anywhere and I plan on working on them for years to come.

If you wish to support me, or this project, please head over to https://www.patreon.com/nate1280. Remember, supporter perks start at the Thank You tier, which for the duration of the beta is only $2 a month with the option to support for a year. Once Streamer.bot 1.0 is released as stable, this will increase to $3.

Yours truly, nate1280 CEO/DEV Streamer.bot
