Streamify

⚠️ WIP: Not ready for production use yet, just started development on this project.

Streamify is a self-hosted video streaming platform built using Java Spring Boot, React TypeScript, MongoDB, and Nginx as a reverse proxy. It allows users to easily deploy their own streaming service without the need to hire developers. Just install Docker (or later, a standalone .exe or .deb package) and you're ready to go!
