This is a playground of a new chatting client. It currently only supports twitch, but the goal is to expand support for other sites such as youtube, etc. It is very very early in development.
It's not really in a usable state yet. After the rewrite I need to rebuild support for:
- Sending messages
- Basic message parsing
- Third-party Emote parsing
- Basic message history
Right now when it comes to chatting on live content sites, the usablity and features of the different site chats vary wildly. When watching on Twitch you have some options for improving this experience with extension such as FFZ, BTTV, and 7tv, but as of now that's limited to the browser. Chatterino is a great desktop client, that can be injected into the browser. However, it's pretty much the sole option.
This was mostly born out of a want for myself. I wanted a clean chatting UI that was consistent across web, desktop, and mobile. We'll see if I can actually accomplish that.
It has already gone through one major overhaul, which you can go back and see the code here and what it looked like here
