Show HN: Ingage – Reward your live stream instantly for free

Your landing page should have, at minimum, a description of the product or a relevant video (maybe this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KX0A9odwZ5U) before your ask for signups. I don't stream right now, so I have no incentive to sign up for this.

But I occasionally watch streams. Maybe I could recommend this to a streamer I watch. I imagine many people in my shoes would just close the tab at https://get.incent.com/ingage when it requires a log in. Maybe also some streamers, your target demographic, would close the tab if they are skeptical about giving a log in to a product they know nothing about.

That youtube video isn't ideal, maybe you have a better once, since it feels like it could be 30 seconds and the first half is the noisier half.

Hey HN Community :) Co-Founder here at Incent.

So Ingage is a product that we've been working on for a while now. It came about to help a way for live streamers like my friends reward their audience and thank them for watching and supporting.

So traditionally, many live stream platforms only allow the audience to donate "bits" or "bobs" back to the streamer. Sometimes it's real $ but in most cases its just some random thing that has no real value. It's pretty good that they are getting something, but we thought there has to be a better way to help streamers and influencers give back to their community too.

So we build Ingage. It's our engagement platform between streamers and their audiences.

Its completely free to join and use. What does it do? - It allows a streamer to create a campaign. Campaigns are the time blocks that they are going to stream. - When a streamer creates a campaign, we automatically generate a set of codes that we call "Drop Codes". - Then the magic is that we provide a special add on that they can use on OBS, Streamlabs OBS or XSplit (these are broadcast tools). - When they add the add-on our software takes care of the rest. - Viewers see a banner that shows the drop codes at random times during their live stream. - Viewers go to https://get.incent.com and are able to enter that code and redeem is instantly for some $$ value of the Incent crypto-currency that is currently traded on exchanges globally. - The streamer is able to instantly reward their audience! - The streamer gets real time stats about who is redeeming and earning rewards on their live stream and as a result their engagement in the live stream is buzzing. - This isn't a new streaming platform. Instead its a service for streamers and viewers to help make the streaming ecosystem more vibrant. - Ingage works on any streaming platform: Twitch, Mixer, DLive, Facebook Live!

It's currently live and working on some awesome streams at the moment.

We have several new features coming down the pipeline too like donations, verification badges, more display overlays, dark mode and most importantly are currently working to make it possible for streamer to earn an income from using Incent completely free.

I would love to get your feedback about it. If you are a streamer, test it out! It's completely free!

Actually that’s a very good point. The actual landing page is https://incent.com/streamers
