We are glad to see that we have so many broadcasters joining DLive in the past month. For the past month, we have been fixing bugs reported from the community, but we are still in the middle of the bugs list. We are still in a very early stage, and still have a lot of features to implement for a better user experience. Meanwhile, we believe that users define what makes a good product, and thus, we are also trying to incentivize and cultivate more broadcasters on the DLive platform and collect more feedback from all of you.

Therefore, we have launched another account called @DLiveStarBooster for promoting good content.

Here is the introduction if you missed it.
