A major problem with the official Twitch app for many users is that emotes and badges from services such as [BetterTTV (BTTV)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/betterttv/ajopnjidmegmdimjlfnijceegpefgped), [FrankerFaceZ (FFZ)](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/frankerfacez/fadndhdgpmmaapbmfcknlfgcflmmmieb), and [7TV](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/7tv/ammjkodgmmoknidbanneddgankgfejfh) are not officially supported. Twitch is unaffiliated with these services, hence why they haven't been integrated officially.
As a result, the millions of users of these services have an unideal viewing experience on the official Twitch app. In the stream chat, only text is positioned where emotes should be (imagine only being able to see :emoji_code: rather than the emojis themselves).
Frosty aims to bring these emotes and other general quality of life features to **both iOS and Android**.
3. Navigate to `lib/constants/constants.dart` and replace the `clientId` and `secret` constants with your **client ID** and **client secret** from step 1 (if using VSCode, use `--dart-define` to [define them as environment variables](https://dartcode.org/docs/using-dart-define-in-flutter/)).
> Frosty uses [MobX](https://mobx.netlify.app/) for state management. Please refer to the documentation about code generation, otherwise your changes within MobX stores may not be applied.
> I built Frosty while learning Flutter, so some of the code may not be optimal. I'm working on refactoring, documenting, and cleaning up various parts as much as I can.
Unfortunately, quality options aren't available through the native player and rely on an "auto" setting. There is no official API for getting the live stream URLs, so specific quality options are not possible currently.
After using and moving around the app for a bit, the jank will be mitigated through shader warmup/caching and should be minimal on subsequent launches. Watching a stream with a fast chat for a few minutes should resolve it.
On iOS, there is a delay of around 15 seconds due to the native player, so unfortunately it's out of my control. As a workaround, Frosty has a message delay option that lets you set the delay (in seconds) before each message is rendered.
This seems to be caused by the Flutter framework itself (see [here](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/24804) and [here](https://github.com/flutter/flutter/issues/29130)).
I'm limited to what is available in the [Twitch API](https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference), so certain features from the Twitch web or mobile app (e.g., voting on predictions and category viewer count) are sadly not available at the moment.
Other features related to ad-blocking or utilizing private APIs will likely not be implemented officially because they would violate Twitch's terms of service. My highest priority currently is staying on the app stores and focusing on making features for those builds.
### Where can I report a bug or request a new feature?
You can open a new issue [here](https://github.com/tommyxchow/frosty/issues) with the appropriate labels (e.g., "bug" or "feature request") and I'll take a look at it.
