   @guizzy @Moon when knotteye was working on her streaming site a while back, i did a little thing and started working on a library for peering with an ircd so you can handle chat that way. an idea https://git.telekem.net/nik/node-ts6/

     @Moon Two things Twitch does that make it very convenient for me: it uses IRC for the chat, and it allows third party apps.Both kinda go together; using a browser on a TV sucks, and I prefer to do passive watching on a TV, so if it can get an app or a Kodi plugin, I'm more likely to want to use it. And using something already standard like IRC for chat means apps and plugins won't have to work as hard to support the chat. They could not support it and expect the user to use a separate device, or they could use existing IRC plugins or libraries. Right now if I wanted to watch Twitch on my TV at home, I can connect to the Kodi plugin for the video, then chat with an IRC client on my phone, laptop (or DevTerm; it's great for IRC).Another bonus for IRC for chat is that it makes it easy for streamers to deploy bots to their channels.

     I am sort of piecemeal collecting information needed for building a twitch replacement.
