Anyone else using Firefox? It doesn't appear to work very well in FF :(
interesting, ill test in a bit. The only javascript on the page is from twitch for its embed API, everything else is just some really basic html and server side rendering, so I'm curious what would be breaking

#32Quite a nice idea, well done! Very minimalist and clean as well. Few pieces of feedback after playing with it for a few minutes- Not sure if I'm getting unlucky or the results are cached but quite a few of the streamers who popped up were offline. Using the twitch api under the hood I assume?
Ya due to the way getting acess to this works, theres a 10 minute cache of active streams that get expired in redis and a cron job pulls in a fresh list

Is there a reason for a 10 minute cache duration? Even 1 minute would be fine from a performance point of view

On my side, when I use `grid` instead of `table` for the `.row` style, the `min-height` of the video row is respected, otherwise it's disregarded for a reason I do not understand.

thats uh, weird. I'll look into that, thank you for digging into the issue.

#36As someone who has periodically streamed, consider dropping a few chat messages when you land. Twitch's metrics are slow to update and it is not always clear when someone is watching.

#37Great concept for the winner take all world we live in now. It's very difficult to get your name out there in anything these days without having to invest a lot in marketing yourself.
Is it binary between searching for 0 viewers and not 0If so I'd suggest implementing the option of searching for less than , so someone new actually can grow a bit from this tool before potentially taking off organically.

#38We didn’t learn our lesson about cam roulettes last time around?
Honestly, if sites like omegle had just created a dedicated pornographic section, it would have drawn that audience away from what was otherwise a pretty fun experience.

#39Really 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.
Ya I've heard similar ideas with regards to filtering, I'm gonna play around with that for sure. Thanks for the feedback.
