Open source Twitch alternative Glimesh has announced the release of its long-awaited mobile app.

The new app allows viewers to watch and follow their favorite streamers on the platform. So what is Glimesh?

Glimesh was created after the shutdown of Microsoft’s streaming service “Mixer” and describes itself as a “Next Generation Streaming Platform” built by the community for the community with a heavy focus on creator discoverability and transparency.

Using the low-latency “FTL” streaming-protocol, streamers are able to interact with their audiences without the large delays found on other streaming platforms.

The company describes itself as “open”, taking transparency to an almost unheard of extreme, publishing and keeping anything you can think of to the public, whether it’s profit and loss reports, streaming data, User Growth, and more, as well as hosting monthly shareholder style meetings for everyone to join in on.

As part of this “open” mindset, Glimesh also allows its users to help develop features for the platform via their building hub.

Currently, as it stands the Glimesh is in an open-alpha state. Users can create their own profiles, stream and interact with other streamers, earn subscriptions, donate to each other and host other users.

The Glimesh mobile app is available for both Apple and Android users.
