Good to see you again Barry. Quick on the draw as I remembered.
The Privacy laws are a tricky thing to wade through and I will of course do my due diligence to ensure I am acting within those laws of course.
What I’m mainly aiming to do is more or less create my own personal version of streamlabs, this includes trying to replicate the viewer and chatter counts so I can figure out what does and doesn’t help my own growth.
Hoping I can open source the project later on if I ever manage to finish it to help future developers learn from my mistakes and improve on their own projects should they decide they want to take any parts of it for their own projects.
Would creating a channel bot help with checking for the viewers by chance? I’m hoping to avoid creating extensions because that feels like it would require more upkeep than I prefer to manage at the moment and I hear that updates and even applying for one to be accepted can take a good bit of time to be approved by the powers to be when it comes to extensions (Though I could be entirely wrong about that, just heard stories from random sources.)
