About Owncast
Owncast is five years in and still polishing the v0.2 backend before any big features land.
Owncast is deep in a multi-release backend refactor — extracting repositories and services (UserRepository, ConfigRepository, WebhooksRepository, ChatMessageRepository), spec-first API design, modernizing the Go runtime — while shipping incremental improvements around its two distinguishing features: Fediverse integration and self-hosted streaming. Recent releases add translation infrastructure, broader codec support (VA-API new implementation, QuickSync), Fediverse follower cleanup, and operational niceties like favicon customization and required chat auth. The team has explicitly told users that v0.2.x will keep going until the refactor is done.
