# Proxima Roadmap

This is an approximate roadmap.  Development of associated mobile apps not
included, likely somewhere in Phase 2.

## Phase 1
* Initial proof of concept, passing chunks over IPFS
* Desktop GTK prototype with audio/video (gstreamer)
* Standalone broadcast client (RTSP?)
* Support for streaming from OBS to broadcast client

## Phase 2
* Transcode to multiple resolutions in broadcast client (ffmpeg?)
* Broadcast client auth to facilitate offloading transcode
* Custom UDP-based gossip protocol, with preemptive chunk relay (!!!)
* Discovery platform, possibly web-based
* Realtime chat per stream (IPFS pubsub?)

## Phase 3
* Erasure codes or fountain codes to improve reliability of distribution
* ActivityPub support to enhance discovery
* Archive streams on PeerTube?
* WebRTC-based in-browser stream preview
