# Builder resources

Use these official project channels for product-specific technical questions. Made Sick does not speak for Germ Network or Streamplace, and their documentation remains authoritative for their services.

Links were reviewed on September 6, 2026. Discord invitations can expire; if one stops working, return to the project's official site or documentation rather than trusting an unofficial replacement.

## Germ Network

### Start here

- Product site: https://www.germnetwork.com/
- Using Germ DM: https://www.germnetwork.com/using-germ-dm
- AT Protocol integration overview: https://www.germnetwork.com/blog/integrating-germ-atproto
- Official GitHub organization: https://github.com/germ-network
- Official support Discord, linked from the current Germ DM guide: https://discord.gg/tefK6VR8GS

### Relevant repositories

- Communicator Protocol: https://github.com/germ-network/autonomous-comm-protocol
- Germ AT Protocol lexicons: https://github.com/germ-network/lexicon
- AT Protocol OAuth for Swift: https://github.com/germ-network/AtprotoOAuth
- AT Protocol client for Swift: https://github.com/germ-network/AtprotoClient

The Germ organization contains additional cryptography and client libraries. Builders should choose them through Germ's current documentation or maintainers rather than assuming every public repository is required. `ATProtoLiteClient` and `ATProtoKit` are archived and should not be presented as current integration starting points.

### Made Sick boundary

Germ is the optional private-message route. Do not copy private messages into profiles, use DMs as a clinical-support pathway, promise total metadata anonymity, or enable contact without the creator's consent.

## Streamplace

### Start here

- Product: https://stream.place/
- Documentation: https://stream.place/docs/
- Developer and self-hosting documentation: https://stream.place/docs/developers/
- Official repository: https://github.com/streamplace/streamplace
- Official community Discord redirect published by the repository: https://discord.stream.place/

### Relevant documentation

- Quick-start streaming: https://stream.place/docs/guides/start-streaming/quick-start
- Embed a livestream: https://stream.place/docs/features/embed/
- Live dashboard and moderation: https://stream.place/docs/features/live-dashboard/
- Multistreaming: https://stream.place/docs/features/multistreaming/
- Player component: https://stream.place/docs/components/player/
- API reference: https://stream.place/docs/reference/

### Made Sick boundary

Streamplace is the proposed public live-video layer. Do not activate an embed until the creator, handle, recording terms, media rights, moderator, content note, resources, and takedown route are verified under [STREAMPLACE_INTEGRATION.md](STREAMPLACE_INTEGRATION.md). Public chat is not private support.
