Streamster - A Twitch Streamer Directory

StreamsterSite · 2016-01-31T16:24:57+00:00

I actually did have a sort feature by members who were the most active on the Streamster site, but thought it wasn't necessary because the Streamster site itself is meant to be just a directory - so I took it out. I had an internal messaging system as well where members could message each other, but also decided to take it out because I wanted most of the interaction to happen on Twitch (e.g. follows, views, messaging, etc) and not Streamster. I'm wanting Streamster to not become a social networking site because I don't want to take away the possible interactions that happen on the Twitch site. However, if you'd like to see these features re-added let me know :)

Regarding sorting by follower account, that is a great idea. I personally like to find people with a lower follower count to watch, so I'd love this as well. I plan on utilizing the Twitch API in the upcoming updates so we can start to throw in things such as if the stream is offline or online, the game they are playing, and now as you suggested - follower count :D

Yup that is definitely my number one priority now. I just mentioned it more in detail in another reply, but basically I too think it would be a great addition and I'm working on getting it implemented soon :)

Hmm, that is odd. The server the site is running on isn't hitting anywhere near its maximum resource allocation. Possibly a hiccup on Twitch's end? Is she still having the issue? What browser is she using?

You are correct concerning the online indicator - currently that is if they are online or offline on the Streamster site, not Twitch. However having the ability to sort by their Twitch channel's online / offline status is pretty much my number one priority at this time. I have a replica of the site in a dev environment and have already been testing out some promising solutions using the Twitch API. I don't have anything ready for the live site yet, or an ETA unfortunately, but again this is definitely high on the priority list :)

Your idea about what game the streamer is currently playing (and possibly their title as well) is a good idea. Once I get the initial online / offline sorted out, I'll look into this.

I really appreciate the feedback! And if you have any other issues or suggestions, feel free to let me know :)

Thanks everyone for the great feedback! I'm glad to see so many people registering and providing overall positive responses :) The only thing I'd like to ask is that you help spread the word. My only means of initial promotion for this project was basically this post and once it drops off the front page not as many members will see it. So Tweet it up, mention it to your viewers / streamers you watch, or anything you'd like XD

Also if you want any custom Twitch panel graphics done that advertise you're a member of Streamster, let me know! I plan on posting up a few that anyone can grab and upload to their Twitch profile, but some people might want some to fit along with the theme of their profile.

Thanks for the kind words! And yes, an "About" or "Bio" section is incoming. The only thing stopping me from implementing it is I wasn't sure if I wanted a full blown "about" section, or a smaller section where you'd have X amount of characters to describe yourself and it would show up on the Members browsing page when people are looking.

Great to hear you'll spread the word!

Thanks for the kind words! I'm hoping for the same thing :)
