Who's streaming right now?

[MojoJojo86]

I imagine the majority of code streams do so on twitch/youtube.

What do people think about taking this awesome repo even further and having a little page that realtime displays which streamers are currently streaming right now. Could categorise based on stream title if language included?

[jasonwilliams]

Sounds like a good idea to me, should be easy to get that data too

[MojoJojo86]

Yeah exactly, seems like it would be a good way to not only get to see more streams but increase viewer count on those dedicated to streaming

@MojoJojo86 I am going to start building a project for this: https://github.com/lannonbr/TwitchDevStreamExplorer

It's worth noting that there's a couple of these already.. For example https://belly.io/programming and few more that escape me right now. Also some people will post to https://www.reddit.com/r/watchpeoplecode.

You should add Chris Griffing https://www.twitch.tv/cmgriffing

CodebaseAlpha is working on a bot so you can find the schedule of streamers. There should be some collaboration with him

I added some Twitch categories to the end of the listing, to show who is streaming in Programming, Game, Mobile, Software and Web Development categories. There is also a link to the Science and Technology category.

I've submitted a ticket to Twitch to ask them whether this information would be available via an API.

#193 adds Twitch streaming status badges.

If you're interested in how to access the info from Twitch API, see badges/shields#3683.

@surlydev is there a link to this ticket?

The main problem of having that inside of the repo is that you can't use jekyll for that as its static pages.
So there there should be a website hosted on github like a pages that would be built in python with js for live updating of the streams so we dont need to refresh all the time to see who is online.
