With Twitch committing suicide with their TOS updates, how viable is Peertube as a livestreaming alternative?

it is, but OwnCast and OpenStreamingPlatform are probably closer to what Twitch does.
A common question about how to find repositories to contribute to
7 projects | /r/golang | 3 Jun 2023

I always recommend people to contribute to software they use themselves. For me that is self-hosted servers like Mealie (Python+Vue) and Owncast (Go+React). Especially Owncast is a project that imo is comparatively easy to get into because the setup is kept really simple, documentation is good and the maintainers are super nice :) There are some good first issues, but in addition to that there are also often "debug problem X" issues that imo help one get into a project quick because you'll read a lot of code for them.
