    • Set the OAuth Redirect URL of the app to http://localhost:3000/auth.

    • Copy the Client-ID of the newly created Twitch app.

    • Make a copy of the .env file named .env.development.local and fill it with your Client-ID and redirect URL:

       REACT_APP_TWITCH_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id-here
       REACT_APP_TWITCH_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/auth

  4. Build & run the development version: yarn run start.

Motivations

I don't really use the Twitch website as I watch streams in VLC using streamlink so I only used most of the time the Twitch popout chat. With the removal of the legacy popout chat and the new popout chat lacking very important features (like whisper support), I started looking for chat client alternatives providing most features included in the official chat and also some new ones.

As I couldn't find any proper alternative including all my requirements, I decided to build my own.
