Overlay Deck

A commercial product that turns a live selling stream into a broadcast. It reads what's happening on a Whatnot show in real time and paints pro on-stream overlays: a live buyers leaderboard, instant sold reveals, auction countdowns, and AI-powered card pricing. Designed, built, and shipped end to end, available at overlaydeck.com.

Overlay Deck overlays live on a card-selling stream: buyers leaderboard, viewer count, and a sold reveal
The product in real use: a live buyers leaderboard, viewer count, and an instant sold reveal layered over a seller's stream.

The problem

Live selling is exploding, but sellers' streams look plain next to a real broadcast. They want pro overlays: who's buying, what just sold, what a card is worth. The catch is a technical one. The streaming software can't read the selling platform's live data, and the selling platform can't draw overlays into a stream. The two worlds don't talk.

Sellers needed something that bridges that gap and looks great doing it, without asking a non-technical creator to wire up servers.

What I built

A two-part product that quietly connects the selling platform to the streaming software. A browser extension listens to the live show and a small desktop app turns that stream of events into polished overlays the streaming software can display, all running locally on the seller's own machine. Install, paste one key, and the overlays go live.

01

Live buyers leaderboard

Top buyers ranked in real time as sales land, so the audience sees the competition heat up and regulars get their moment on screen.

02

AI card pricing

Point at a card and the app identifies it and pulls its current market price on the spot, turning "what's it worth?" into an instant on-stream answer.

03

Just-sold reveals

Every sale fires a clean sold toast on the stream, giving each purchase a satisfying, broadcast-quality moment.

04

Live auction overlay

Current bid, countdown, and winner reveal, so auctions feel like an event instead of a number read off-screen.

05

Hype meter

A bidding-frenzy meter that fills as bids fly and unlocks bonus moments, nudging the room toward the next bid.

06

Viewer count & branding

A live viewer count and a floating logo round out a consistent, branded look across the whole show.

07

One-click stream setup

Each overlay drops into the streaming software as a browser source, with copy-paste URLs and one-click add. No technical setup for the seller.

08

Private by design

Everything runs on the seller's own machine. Buyer information never leaves the computer, and there's no server for them to manage.

Built to ship, not just demo

This isn't a prototype. It's a real product with installers for both Mac and Windows, a licensing and subscription system, a guided setup any creator can follow, and a packaging pipeline that assembles the whole sales bundle in one command. I took it from idea to a thing people can buy.
