**Note:** some technical/coding experience is currently required to be able to use this effectively, see the technical overview below for more information.
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)
