- Migrated from the previous work on the LBRY project on to the new rebranded Odysee frontend, with the same codebase, team and mission but different goals; - Now the work involved only frontend development for the web, without an electron based desktop app; - The workload now had bigger goals and tighter deadlines, with focus on reaching sustainable monetization for the site and for creators; - For that goal, helped to build a whole new patreon-like creator subscriptions system, using Stripe as a payment processor and increasing revenue where before there was none, with exciting new features like member-only access to media, user badges and more; - Also worked on livestreaming services, becoming skilled in websocket usage on the web for media content and also live comments on chat components.
