Hey, all! I've been working on this program for some time now, since the Browser Source plugin first showed up.
I think most of you know the problems with the old ways of overlaying chat, this attempts to address some of those problems, here's what I offer:
Completed features
All you will need to do is:
To customise, either use the browser source CSS or the included CSS file.
All HTML is handled with the Tornado template engine so you can quite easily change the per-message HTML as well.
(old)Example (Just to show the overlay in action, over the regular twitch chat. Name colors work most of the time, subscribers are recognised but I haven't added the badge API calls yet)
The UI is so far only set up for testing, I will post some pictures once the real stuff is starting to take shape.
I don't have anything to release to you guys yet but I could use some immediate feedback.
What would you like to see in this application in order to find it most useful?
I think most of you know the problems with the old ways of overlaying chat, this attempts to address some of those problems, here's what I offer:
- No more ugly chroma-keyed text
- No need for extra screen real-estate
- Real-time chat, no polling or overwriting chat lines
- Full CSS3 chat, including things like CSS-animations, drop-shadows, etc.
- All in one single application, no need to set up scripts for IRC clients.
Completed features
- User badges (subscriber/mod/turbo/admin/broadcaster/admin, of course including the per-channel subscriber badge)
- Full emoticon support, including turbo and subscriber emoticons!
- Full user colour support (as far as the TMI delivers)
- New subscriber notification
- /me commands showing up correctly
All you will need to do is:
- Install the Browser source plugin
- Run the client (some user login set-up necessary first time, hopefully I can get this done with OAuth2 so we don't save or handle passwords)
- Add a Browser source
- Stream
