Very simple Twitch stream previewer/switcher https://switchtwitch.com Made it so I could stream multiple streamer's perspectives in a tournament.

Interesting! I made something related, a tool to show multiple Twitch VODs side-by-side in sync: https://github.com/remram44/twitch-vod-sync (though to be fair I really built it to learn React) I like watching tournaments on VOD so I can skip the long setup times and the tool allows me to compensate for players with different delays set on their streams.

Oooh cool. Good to know that there are other Twitch tools out there to solve similar problems.

Another problem I have with both live streams and vods is loading all of them into some sort of playlist for a particular competition/event. Obviously requires quite a fair amount of community driven work, and not necessarily limited to Twitch.

On second thought, maybe the onus is on competition producers/organizers to do this, plus I guess not that many people want to analyze multiple streams at once. But it's still annoying having to repeat looking up streams/channels/vods to watch for every tournament.

I was tired of paying a bunch of money for 5-second user tests on the bigger UI testing platforms, so I made a free option. https://isthisclear.com/

Cool concept - I'll try it out. I see you have to do 3 tests to get one result back. Why couldn't it be 1:1? What happens to the "other" two tests?

I figured some results will be spammy, plus it could allow for a paid plan later down the line where folks could bypass having to take other people’s exams

https://www.usertrack.net - Self-hosted analytics.

Initially I was marketing the platform to end-users that have just a few websites, but it receives more interest from web agencies that want to get userTrack for their own clients. Although my goal is to promote self-hosting and decentralization, I think enabling agencies to use a self-hosted solution instead of popular SaaS alternatives is a good start.
