Forget slash commands and clunky workflows. We’re putting the power of your code directly into the hands of creators and viewers with the all-new Shortcuts feature. This interactive button framework replaces legacy text commands with intuitive, clickable UI elements built directly into the chat interface. We’re looking for developers to build apps that simplify complex tasks, trigger instant events, and create a more seamless experience for the entire community.
Win up to $1,000 in Chaturbate tokens by building an App that utilizes the new Shortcuts feature. Whether it’s a one-click moderation tool, a viewer engagement trigger, or a completely new way to interact with the stream—your goal is to enhance the creator or viewer experience through innovative, high-utility design. What will you build with a single click?
