The live room

What it does

Anyone at the door comments. You or a moderator show a comment to everyone — on the door, and as a banner on the broadcast, so every simulcast carries it. One on the screen at a time, placed where you drag it.

Tips go straight to your own PayPal or Cash App link. A guest says what they tipped; a tip over your threshold is a super chat, top of the queue, drawn with the amount on the banner.

A poll: you ask, or run the one the director proposed from the chat; everyone answers once; the bars move as the votes come in, on the door and on the screen.

A tap of the heart floats up the door, the console and the broadcast. Six reactions, one a second each.

The director works the chat for you: three comments worth the screen and why, the themes the audience is on, a line to say next, and anything that breaks the house rules.

A run of show, drafted by the director from the show and what the audience asked last time; the clock starts at On air, and the console says which segment you should be in and when to move on.

Off the air, the director debriefs: what was asked, what to follow up, who to thank, and the next episode — started in one click.

The standard behind it

• The platform holds no money and cannot verify a tip. A tip is what the guest told us, and a moderator decides whether the banner is earned.
• The host counts votes and never sees who voted what — the database refuses the question. A reaction carries no name at all.
• The banner and the poll reach the broadcast over the room's own data channel, and the stage takes them only from the host or a moderator the host named. A message from anyone else is data, not a command.
• Everything the director says about the chat is checked against the chat: a comment it names must exist, a name it thanks must be in the room, a poll needs a question and two answers.
