**Note:** some technical/coding experience is currently required to be able to use this effectively, see the technical overview below for more information.
Start `strimertul.exe` and as soon as it will load a browser window will open with a Web UI you can use to configure it to your heart's content.
You can also build the project yourself, refer to the Building section below.
## Technical overview
Strimertül is a single executable app that provides the following:
- HTTP server for serving static assets and a websocket API
- Twitch bot for handling chat messages and providing custom commands
- Polling-based loyalty system for rewards and community goals
At strimertul's core is [Kilovolt](https://github.com/strimertul/kilovolt), a pub/sub key-value store accessible via websocket. You can access every functionality of strimertul through the Kilovolt API. Check [this repository](https://github.com/strimertul/kilovolt-clients) for a list of officially supported kilovolt clients (or submit your own). You should be able to easily build a client yourself by just creating a websocket connection and using the [Kilovolt protocol](https://github.com/strimertul/kilovolt/blob/main/PROTOCOL.md).
Check out the [project's wiki](https://github.com/strimertul/strimertul/wiki) for more information on how to use the API to interact with strimertul.
Kilovolt's code is based on Gorilla Websocket's server example, licensed under [BSD-2-Clause](https://github.com/gorilla/websocket/blob/master/LICENSE)
