gramps 90f5ad50dd refactor: extract TopBar out of MainWindow.xaml — Phase 2, Commit 14
TopBar.xaml(.cs) takes the Row 0 top controls: logo/About button, REC/ON-AIR
pills + status signs, avatar, Sign In/Start/End buttons. The avatar fetch
(AvatarHttp/_loadedAvatarUrl/LoadAvatarImage/ShowAvatarFallback) moved into the
control with async semantics preserved; the window grabs the control via
FindName in its ctor and calls _topBar.RefreshAvatar() when IsConnected or
AccountAvatarUrl changes (previously OnViewModelPropertyChanged -> LoadAvatarImage).
AccountLight is pure binding (never touched by code-behind) so it moved with the XAML.

Zero behavior change; build 0 warnings; 246 pass, only the 2 known failures.
Also dropped the now-unused System.IO using from MainWindow.xaml.cs.
Docs: ViewModels/index.md Phase 2 tracker updated in the same commit.

ytLlive

LlamaCasty — livestream smarter

A creator-proof live-streaming and recording app for YouTube — native Windows (C# / WPF / .NET 8).

Design Principle

This software is so intuitive that even the most right-brained person can easily intuit and use it.

Every feature is measured against this. One-click go-live, sane YouTube defaults, visual scene building, and no dead ends — every action has a visible outcome.

Why ytLlive

OBS treats YouTube as an afterthought; SLOBS is Twitch-first with YouTube bolted on. ytLlive is designed and dedicated to YouTube livestreaming and recording, and to YouTube's specific quirks.

Account Assumption

ytLlive assumes you already have a YouTube creator account — connecting uses "Sign in with Google" to link that existing account. ytLlive does not create accounts. If you don't have a YouTube channel yet, set one up on YouTube first, then connect it here.

Run

dotnet build   # Windows only — WPF
