For the past few days I’ve been grinding on some code. I’m building a Twitch chat overlay / streaming tool for a friend that allows full chat customization based on roles like subscriber, follower, VIP, etc.
It also has a built-in chat leveling system that rewards activity in chat :3
In the meantime, my friend shared the idea with a few other Twitch streamers, who also got interested in it.
So in the end, I rewrote the app so that anyone can use it freely.
Right now, the app is in closed access (beta testing), but eventually it will be publicly available online as a free Twitch tool.
It works just like overlays in Streamlabs, StreamElements or OBS, you just log in with any Google account (even a new one) and enter the name of the Twitch channel whose chat you want to display.
At the moment, it includes basic chat UI customization features, and I personally don’t have much of an artistic touch so... :p
Here are a few example configurations I made just by toggling options and sliders, no coding required :)
As you can see, these are pretty basic features like changing layout, colors, borders, and overall chat design.
There’s also an option to add your own custom SVG badges, replacing the default Twitch ones.
I’m also thinking about adding chat animations (message transitions, effects, etc.).
But overall, for people who don’t have a custom chat styled to match their branding yet, I think this tool is a great starting point.
