Quite often, twitch streams are flooded with too many random messages. This app is here to better organize those messages and show only the most important ones.

Inspiration

A general liking of watching Twitch streams led me to try and make this. When a streamer gets too big, it can be hard to keep track of questions, reactions, subscriber notifications, and more. This application is meant to help streamline the process of broadcaster and chat interaction.

What it should do

It would gather data from Twitch chat in real time, analyze and catagorize them, and display the results on a web page that gets updated in real time.

What it actually does

Barely simulates a Twitch chatbot typing into the chat.

How I built it

I used Nodejs and Reactjs for my framework. Another community developed API called tmi.js connects the Twitch chat to my code. So far, I have programmed the .js to output rudimentary messages in chat.

Challenges I ran into

For one thing, I have zero prior experience working with JS and APIs, so I had to start from the ground up. Every step of the way, I ran into problems, searched for solutions, and got stuck again.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

The fact that I made something that does something is quite amazing. Although it isn't even a minimum viable product, it's still something.

What I learned

I have learned so much about APIs.

What's next for Better Twich Chat Info

To conceive the actual goal I want to achieve.
