How it runs under the hood. No video, just the details.
Votes
Chat votes and website votes are counted together, and you can change your pick until the timer ends. My own system counts the votes, not the platforms.
Kick and Twitch votes are added together and show on stream within moments. Each vote is checked against the account that sent it.
Location
The stream shows my position live. A tracking app on my phone sends it to the map on the overlay. The website never shows a position, only the next stop, the countries so far and the km.
Privacy mode takes the map off the stream at once, and I turn it on before I get to where I sleep. My own GPS log stays on my server and is deleted after 7 days.
Money
Every euro I spend is listed on the site the next day: food, stay, transport.
Stack
Backend
A web service and a database
Overlay
Live widgets in OBS, running on my own server in the EU
Chat
Kick and Twitch chat in one place, the same commands everywhere
