Algora TV is an open source Elixir/Phoenix application developed by Algora.io that powers Live Billboards—a platform for embedding in-video ads during livestreams. The project enables developers to monetize their live content while providing devtools companies a dynamic and non-intrusive way to reach audiences in real time. Built on top of the Phoenix framework, it leverages Elixir’s concurrency and scalability to handle streaming, ad management, and user interactions seamlessly. The system integrates with GitHub for authentication and uses Tigris for media storage and delivery, with optional support for services like FFmpeg, ImageMagick, and OBS Studio for livestream testing and video processing. The repository includes all setup instructions, from environment configuration to database initialization, making it accessible for developers to self-host or experiment locally.
