Overview

Live Rooster is a modern, fast, easy-to-use live talk show streaming app, built for people who love content that feels exciting, spontaneous and real. Hosts create studios focused on a specific interest, schedule their shows and go live, while subscribers get instant notifications the moment a stream starts. Everyone gets a personalised feed filled with their favourite creators. We built the product around fast discovery, easy creation and the anticipation that keeps a live audience coming back, on a React Native front end with a Node.js backend.

The challenge

Making live feel immediate and personal

Live content lives or dies on timing and relevance. The product had to make it simple for hosts to spin up a studio and go live, get the right people watching at the right moment, and keep every viewer's feed genuinely personal rather than generic.

Our approach

Research first, then build

We focused on the loop between host and audience. A frictionless registration and login flow gets people in fast through mainstream sign-in options, while theme selection and a content studio give creators the tools to shape and spread their content. An advanced filtering system keeps each feed personal, and the Live Countdown feature builds anticipation by letting hosts schedule and tease upcoming streams. A Node.js and JavaScript backend handles the real-time layer.
