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
