Creating multiple examples of Web Monetization applications, including video and audio streaming use case examples with optional advertisement support and, an example of a multi-publisher blog, with an accompanying web components library. We chose web components because they can be used in many front-end contexts, including React and Vue. We aim to take the shroud off the Web Monetization API using our industry reach, and show through highly visual examples how one might use our web component library in their projects.
