We're excited to debut two new features on pace.rip!
Starting today, new livestreams are chat-enabled! No configuration required, and viewers don't need any sorta account to chat.
For the time being, all livestream chats are connected to one another. Our site is teensy enough for this party line approach to make sense.

pace.rip/video-channels/kube/videos
