We're creating a marketplace to help connect designers with streamers. What would make it awesome for you?

Hey everyone,

About a month ago my friends and I launched a free tool called StreamPro.io to make it as easy as possible to setup overlay graphics, alerts, donations, and other stream widgets with a drag & drop editor. We were humbled by the show of support from r/Twitch, but some of the most eye-opening feedback came from the people behind the camera - the brand designers, video editors, and graphic designers.

The Challenge

It was clear that these people played a big role in the streaming community, but some didn’t know where to start and others weren’t sure how to make a career out of it. On the flip side, designers who had built reputations in the community seemed too expensive or out of reach for streamers who weren’t partnered yet but were still in need of design help.

We’re going to try and solve the problem of connecting designers with streamers, and we want to know how we can help.

Our Proposal

So, here’s what we're working on: the StreamPro Marketplace.

Right now, you can create entire overlays in our editor that don’t just include graphics, but also lots of dynamic functionality provided 100% in the editor. We want to allow you to just as easily “package” these functional and visual overlays into “themes” that you can sell to other streamers who use StreamPro.

How it Would Work

If you’re a streamer browsing the marketplace and you see a theme that you like, you’ll have the ability to purchase the theme and start using it immediately. This allows designers to create products that they can sell more than once while profiting from each purchase. This also allows streamers of all levels to get easier access to high quality overlays at a price that might make more sense to them.

What it Would Cost

We're hoping this is a win-win for everyone, including us. If we're able to take a very small portion (a percentage that we haven't decided on yet) out of each sale and keep our editor free to use, this would be a big step in keeping us pumping out features beneficial to the community.

We are incredibly interested in helping this part of the streaming community evolve, and we think we’re in a very interesting position to try and do that. But we want to hear from you. What are your thoughts about creating the StreamPro Marketplace? What would help you as designers? What would help you as streamers?

We’re working really hard thanks to you guys and love this community's feedback. So tell us: how can we make this place better?

Myself and u/OriginalTre will be responding to everyone.

EDIT: If you're a designer, please feel free to post your portfolio or any links to your work in the thread!
