Bearded! Build Me a Script!
Got an idea for a Streamer.bot script, OBS thing, browser source, automation, webhook, widget, or some other weird stream-related nonsense and have no idea how to build it?
Cool. Send it to me.
You Have an Idea. I Build Shit.
Your initial $10 investment gets your project in front of me so I can dig into what you want, figure out the best way to build it, and determine what kind of work is actually involved.
If it's something quick and simple, I may just build the damn thing and call it done.
If it's a bigger project, I'll let you know what I'd charge to build it. If you want to move forward, what you already paid gets applied toward that total.
If you decide the larger build isn't worth it, no hard feelings. I'll send you a short PDF with the general direction I would take so you still have a roadmap if you want to take a swing at it yourself.
What Kind of Stuff Do I Build?
Streamer.bot
Actions, C# scripts, commands, triggers, redeems, automations, integrations, and custom tools.
OBS
Scene and source automation, browser sources, WebSocket integrations, audio controls, plugins, and other OBS-related weirdness.
Overlays & Widgets
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, browser sources, alerts, counters, timers, goal bars, interactive widgets, and stream toys.
Twitch & YouTube
Chat interactions, channel events, commands, API integrations, redeems, stream events, and platform automation.
Webhooks & APIs
Connecting services together, receiving events, sending data, custom webhooks, API calls, and making completely unrelated things talk to each other.
Other Weird Ideas
If your idea starts with, "Hey Bearded, is it possible to..." there's a pretty good chance this is where it belongs.
This isn't a complete list. If you can explain what you want to happen, send it over. You do not need to know how the technical side should work.
You Don't Need to Know How to Build It
Tell me what you want it to do.
Seriously. It's that simple.
"I want a thing to happen when somebody does another thing" is perfectly acceptable.
Screenshots, videos, existing scripts, badly drawn diagrams, examples from somebody else's stream, or anything else that helps explain the idea are useful.
I'll worry about figuring out how the pieces fit together.
How It Works
- Start your project. Purchase the build request through Ko-fi.
- Send me your idea. Your purchase includes instructions for contacting me and sending over any files, screenshots, examples, or other useful information.
- I dig into it. I'll figure out the best approach and what kind of work the project actually requires.
- We go from there. If it's a small job, I'll build it. If it needs more work, I'll send you a quote before anything else happens.
No sales call. No discovery session. No weird funnel.
You have an idea. I build shit. Let's see if we can make it work.
What Does the Initial Purchase Cover?
Your purchase gets me actively looking at your project instead of trying to design the entire thing through Twitch chat, Discord DMs, YouTube comments, carrier pigeon, or wherever somebody happened to find me.
I'll review what you want, determine how I would approach it, and decide whether it falls within the base build or needs a larger quote.
If a larger build is needed and you decide to continue, your original purchase is applied toward the final price.
If you decide not to continue, I'll provide a short PDF outlining the general direction I would take so you still walk away with something useful.
A Couple Boring but Important Things
The initial purchase is non-refundable because I'm still spending time digging into your idea even if you decide not to move forward.
Sometimes something just isn't possible because Twitch, YouTube, OBS, Streamer.bot, Discord, or some random API decides we aren't allowed to have nice things.
This is super rare because I can almost always come up with a workaround. But if it happens, I'll tell you.
If you change the scope halfway through a larger build and turn "one little button" into a control panel for a nuclear submarine, the price may change, too.
Need Help Instead of a Custom Build?
If what you actually need is troubleshooting, setup help, or somebody to walk through your existing system with you, my Live 1-on-1 Streaming Help service is probably the better option.
The difference is simple:
Custom Build: You tell me what you want and I build it for you.
Live Help: We get together for an hour and work on your setup together.
Ready to See If We Can Build It?
Send me the idea. Weird is fine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this only for Streamer.bot?
Nope. Streamer.bot is obviously one of my specialties, but I also work with OBS, Twitch, YouTube, Discord, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, APIs, webhooks, browser sources, and plenty of other tools.
What if I don't know how my idea should work technically?
That's my problem. Tell me what you want to happen and I'll figure out how I would approach building it.
What if my project only takes a few minutes?
Then I may just build it and we're done. The initial purchase is also my base starting point for small custom builds.
What if the project costs more?
I'll send you a quote before continuing. If you approve it, what you've already paid is applied toward the total.
Do I have to accept the larger quote?
Nope. If you decide not to continue, I'll send you a short PDF outlining the general direction I would take with the project.
How do I send you files and project information?
Your Ko-fi purchase includes instructions for contacting me. Discord is the easiest option, but if you don't use Discord, message me through Ko-fi and we'll work out another method.
Can you modify something I already have?
Absolutely. Existing scripts, actions, overlays, widgets, or other tools are fair game. Send me what you've got and explain what you want changed.
What if I'm not sure whether I need this or the 1-on-1 service?
If you want me to build something for you, use this service. If you want to sit down with me and work through something together, the Live 1-on-1 Streaming Help service is probably the better fit.
