This sounds really cool!

Gotta ask — where'd you get the name BassDrum from? I was wondering if it had something to do with keeping the video at the same rate for everyone... like a steady bass drum.

Now that you mention it... 😅

I don't know how to explain it, but when I'm thinking of names for projects, I usually get them "flash-of-genius" style. Which means they just pop into my head. That, and the domain was available on sale.

Since I wanted to add support for other platforms like Netflix and Hotstar later on, I also liked that BassDrum was generic enough.

But that's a very good observation! 👏👏👏

Haha, I totally understand where you're coming from with the name game.

Anyway, you can take that steady drum line and roll (drum roll 🥁) with it if you wanna. 😉 I'm imagining you using the line "never miss a beat" somewhere too, e.g. "Watch movies with your friends and never miss a beat as your streams move along steadily at the same pace..." Lots of fun stuff you can do with that.

Also, I feel like a bass drum could make for a super cool logo.

Best of luck to you on this!
