Mantequilla-Soft – Weekly Progress Report #16

Welcome to another Mantequilla-Soft Weekly Report!

🎙️ OpenPod Recording

Recorded live on 3speak OpenPods

This week was a mix of firefighting and forward planning. We spent time troubleshooting several edge case errors that were affecting 3Speak, including IPFS issues and a broken scheduling script. Everything is back to normal now. On the product side, @meno gave snapie.io a fresh new look with a redesign and an invitation-based account creation system. @tibfox, who is back from Alicante, shipped a major redesign of OpenPods. We also discussed the ongoing attack on 3Speak, the challenge of migrating servers to reduce costs, and started defining the premium features for the upcoming 3Speak subscription. We invite everyone to listen to the full episode for all the context.

3Speak Troubleshooting

@eddiespino spent time troubleshooting and fixing several edge case errors that were affecting 3Speak. These included IPFS related issues, a broken video scheduling script, and other errors that were causing problems. With the help of Warp Terminal, Eddie was able to diagnose and fix these issues, and 3Speak is working normally again.

Topics We Discussed

Server Migration

We discussed the tough task of migrating services, scripts, and other components across servers. The goal is to reduce infrastructure costs, but the migration is complex given all the moving parts. This is an ongoing effort.

3Speak Premium Features

We started defining the premium features for the 3Speak subscription, which is expected to cost around 10 HBD per month. The planned benefits include:

• Publish video recordings from OpenPods
• Prioritized subtitle translation with 10 additional languages
• Prioritized video encoding
• 1080p encoding (non-premium users would be limited to 720p max)
• No beneficiary fees on uploads

These features are still being finalized, and we welcome community input.

DHF Maintenance Proposal

We announced that a draft for the 3Speak DHF proposal will be ready this week. This proposal will be for maintenance costs only, not for salaries.
