- Bottom-bar resolution dropdown (1080p60/1080p30/720p60/480p30) with tooltip on finding upload bandwidth; disabled while live; no in-app speed test - FocusPreservingListBox keeps selection/focus coherent when a selected scene/source is deleted (skip hidden scenes; leave list when empty) - Themes/Controls.xaml: single dark-theme dictionary merged once in App.xaml; custom ComboBox template fixes SelectionBoxItem rendering; GoLiveWindow and ReuseImageDialog consolidated onto shared styles - AppLog file logger + AppDomain/Dispatcher exception hooks; checkpointed MainWindow/VM/dialog constructors (caught MenuItemRole.Separator XAML crash) - Memory map: schema.md conventions, per-directory index.md, updated ai.md/ TASKS.md/README.md (OAuth creds real; token persistence still pending)

ytLlive
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
