First time I'm the one answering questions. StreamPot story, lessons and acquisition (exact details $) 00:44 - Origins 03:31 - Launch 05:44 - Scale issues 14:40 - Co-founders 20:20 - Video = hard 26:11 - VCs 29:58 - ittybit acquisition 34:50 - How much? 40:20 - Lessons
Quick update: @ittybithq are acquiring StreamPot and StreamPot will be closing down at the end of October. Thanks to everyone who used StreamPot, tried it out, gave me advice, contributed etc. I won't pretend this is a big success but I've known @PaulAntWilliams since day one and I'm happy ittybit are providing a strong exit option for StreamPot users (alongside self hosting the open source version on railway/northflank etc.), and I'm happy to have a team I can cheer for and refer people to because I still think it's a huge problem that isn't solved yet. I recorded a scaling devtools episode with Paul where I share the whole story - will release soon. But tl;dr: - what went right: found a big annoying problem for people and built a simple to use tool - what went wrong: not the right team setup to build a stable video infrastructure tool There were ups and downs and late nights resetting servers but overall it was one of the funnest things I've ever done and I couldn't be more grateful for all the memories and lessons. And.. StreamPot has also given me a lot more questions and empathy for guests on scaling devtools.
