## Usage

**[Go to the website!](https://yata.vercel.app)**

## Contribute

1. [Fork](https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo) & [clone](https://help.github.com/articles/cloning-a-repository) this repository.

2. Install all the dependencies using [Yarn](https://yarnpkg.com): `yarn install`.

3. Set up the development environment:

   - Create a Twitch app [here](https://dev.twitch.tv/console/apps).

   - 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:

     ```env

      REACT_APP_TWITCH_CLIENT_ID=your-client-id-here

      REACT_APP_TWITCH_REDIRECT_URI=http://localhost:3000/auth

     ```

     The `REACT_APP_YOUTUBE_API_KEY` & `REACT_APP_IMGUR_CLIENT_ID` variables are not required and only used when interacting with these APIs.

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](https://github.com/streamlink/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.
