Caching Vs Fetching / The Future of Twitch Bots?

Above are the results of each time i called commands that would normally require API calls on the bots cited.
On avarage:

Moobot had an avarage of 886 ms per command
Nightbot had an avarage of 882 ms per command
StreamLabs had an avarage of 951 ms per command
Levitathan(mine) had an avarage of 521 ms per command

As you can see, there’s quite a bit of difference in delay from what i’ve gathered so far.
The highest ping (681ms) barely matches the next lowest ping(Streamlabs 751ms), this is all thanks to Caching.

You’ve just compared apples to oranges as you have no idea what your delay/relay is between you sending the command and the bot receiving it and no idea what those bots are doing internally before they start to process your comand, the time to takes to get the result of that command the time taken to return the response to chat and you to receive it. Your metrics are flawed due to not being able to time everything correctly at the right timing points.

And you have no idea how long it took for Twitch to relay your message to the receiving socket from your sending your message to the inbound socket of the bot. You don’t have enough information to (basically) state these other bots are doing something wrong. You have too many unaccounted for variables here

So doesn’t surprise me your bot has the quickest response.

Add Sharing/clustering on your api, that would allow for each node/process to run
individually while taking care of an x amount of streams. This would greatly increase
functionality of bigger bots as their processes can be split and not require a single core to
be running every single channel/stream its working on.

Again you have no idea what these other bots are doing before responding to you, or even if any delay is due to “bad coding” on the bots part, since most of the bots you refer to are already doing sharding/clustering.

Add images to the IRC chat, this opens up plenty of doors for bot developers.

Oh gawd please no. Most chat users DO NOT WANT THIS

@erwin1234777

Reward Devs more, devs have no purpose to develop bots, which stales competition.

I don’t need rewards, I need more clients whom I obtain from referral from doing good work building customs bots for the people I work with. Custom always wins.

I don’t need recognition in chat/from Twitch, it doesn’t help me or benefit me at all

@erwin1234777

Unified place for streamers to search for bots.

This becomes a portal of support small streamers and doesn’t really help anyway

@erwin1234777

Increase in Roles. This brings up a lot of doors for bot developers to add ranks/roles to their users.

I can implement this internally in my bot(s), don’t really need Twitch to add more roles really.

@erwin1234777

From what ive gathered so far, theres only custom bots made PER streamer, theres no competition whatsoever, those are paid bots that work specifically on the streamers end with WHAT THEY WANT.

The best bot for a streamer is a custom bot that does exactly what they want/need to.

Custom always wins at the end, the same goes for Discord bots in my opinion
