Just bumped the amount of asgi workers and upped the DO droplet size, should be good now, sorry about that!

#44This is great! One thing that many HN-ers may not know is that Amazon Prime users get a free subscription to give to anyone on Twitch.
It'd be neat if there was a button here that would allow a user to subscribe with Prime; I'm sure these streamers would love that.

#45twitch is one of the platforms where I feel like I've struggled the most to get viewers. just playing my main game like Dota wasn't too productive since I'm not a pro or super hot so my value proposition there isn't too compelling. Instead I've been trying to focus more on streaming myself programming and learning new scientific or game programming libraries and have been enjoying it quite a bit. My viewer count is veeery slowly increasing but almost noone is subscribing, many of my friends have expressed interest in watching me so my plan is to start letting them know when I'm about to stream to seed some viewers. Also I've realized that the more specific your brand is on social media the more effective, I've been looking at branding myself as a strategy game buff/developer so will be streaming niche strategy games and Unity game development every weekend. I'll re-asses after a month to see if this plan was effective.
I really appreciate this project as going from 0-1 viewers on Twitch where the 1 isn't your friend is challenging.

#46Really cool idea. Thanks for sharing. I could totally see myself using this more if you added 2 options, language and game. Also interesting would be to display not only 0 streams but also streams with <10 viewers.
Why not use twitch directly as it already has those filter-options?

#47Earlier quoted context omitted.
Ya I've heard similar ideas with regards to filtering, I'm gonna play around with that for sure. Thanks for the feedback.
Can you use the Twitch tags? That would be even more useful than simply filtering by games.
Technically ya, its just the route im going through to get this data probably has some rate limits that I'd like to avoid hitting. Need to figure out how to poke at this in a friendly enough way.

#48Singer Ben Folds once did this during a huge concert. So random people looking for a video chat would suddenly see a man on a stage in front of a huge audience...singing a song about them. ("Hello Mr. Shirtless Man. How are you doin' today? Is it hot in there...?")

#49I chuckled as it reminded me of the cams roulettes in the old days. Still, I liked it. I got a random 'mature' stream.
Like Chaturbate?

#50Is the video supposed to be postage stamp sized?
