# Frosty
A new Flutter project.
A [Twitch](https://www.twitch.tv/) client for iOS and Android, built with [Flutter](https://flutter.dev/) and [originally with SwiftUI](https://github.com/tommyxchow/frosty-swiftui).
## Getting Started
## Features
This project is a starting point for a Flutter application.
- Browse top and followed channels on Twitch
- Watch live streams with live chat
- Support for BTTV, FFZ, and 7TV emotes, including GIFs
A few resources to get you started if this is your first Flutter project:
## Motivation
- [Lab: Write your first Flutter app](https://flutter.dev/docs/get-started/codelab)
- [Cookbook: Useful Flutter samples](https://flutter.dev/docs/cookbook)
Currently, the only available Twitch client on iOS is the official Twitch app. I wanted to make a Twitch client that provides some important missing features in the official app. I also saw this as an opportunity to learn and become familiar with mobile development.
For help getting started with Flutter, view our
[online documentation](https://flutter.dev/docs), which offers tutorials,
samples, guidance on mobile development, and a full API reference.
## The Problem
A major problem with the official Twitch app is that emotes from third-party services such as [BetterTTV (FFZ)](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 (similar to only being able to see :emoji: rather than the emojis themselves).
This app aims to bring these emotes and other general quality of life features to both iOS and Android.
