Æ "is a character formed from the letters a and e, originally a ligature representing the Latin diphthong ae. It has been promoted to the full status of a letter in some languages." We use it to represent that something is in Alpha

β is the second letter of the greek alphabet, Beta. We use it to represent that something is in Beta.

Alpha implies that the product is still very early in development This means that there is a large chance of data deletion, and things are very likely to change. While we will attempt to avoid deleting data, because of the nature of development, it is very possible that something will be deleted or no longer accessible. It is also possible that the product will be removed. Until a product enters Beta, it should not be used for vital functions. Bugs and crashes are expected for a product that is in Alpha.

Beta implies that the product is incomplete. This means that there is a possibility of data deletion, and things may change. While we will attempt to avoid deleting data, because of the nature of development, it is very possible that something will be deleted or no longer accessible.

My name is Jeffrey Koehler. I am a computer scientist working at Ontario systems. I graduated With a degree in Computer engineering in 2019. This site is my personal project, and I intend to use it as a platform to support the content creators that I watch, as well as a way to mess arround with servers and the like. The biggest example of this is the fact that I self host the site.

Yes. there is a stack of six, soon to be seven, servers in my basement that connect to the greater world through a fiber network connection. While this does mean that I am more likely to have downtime than cloud hosting, it is a LOT cheaper as I only pay about 5% in power costs. I do have to manage them myself, but again, thats part of the reason that I do this to being with.

As a side note, the self hosting means that user logins and the like are all stored on site. While I may send backups out to the cloud, they are encrypted and the live data is only ever on site.

My personal project, and how I want to give back to the community. Starting out, this is a way for protonjon to do his fortune cookie streams easier, and a way to do more than first past the post polling. It is hard to find a good instant runoff polling site.

I hope to eventually turn this site into a suite of tools that will make it super easy for streamers and other content creators to create their own chat bots and automation along with make it really easy to create notifications and the like. Ideally, I want to make a tool powerful enough to actually be used by non content creators as well.

Currently? I dont. I do eventually want to

• A: Accept donations/create a Patreon, but the site is not large enough to merritt that
• B: Create a product that is worth paying for, but that will take time

I will not sell user data.

• The hosting is based on a self hosted Kubernetes cluster.
• I use PostgreSQL as my primary database.
• I use Redis for its pub/sub and timeout key systems.
• The website itself is programmed in Angular.
• The backend is a set of golang programs I wrote myself.
