The problem
Streamers wanted viewers’ gifts to do something on screen, live. The tool had to run next to streaming software on modest Windows machines without eating the resources the stream needs.
What I built
A Windows desktop app plus the services and tooling around it.
- 01Tauri desktop client — Next.js UI on a Rust runtime for native performance and a small footprint.
- 02Real-time game layer — A WebSocket layer that turns incoming gifts into live game events.
- 03Admin dashboard & docs — Shipped alongside the client so the business could operate it.
Outcome
I co-founded Lineup Media and exited after an equity sale in 2026.
