I wrote StreamE because I was tired of constantly switching back and forth between Twitch, Mixer, and YouTube to watch the live streamers I wanted to watch. StreamE lets you search for, follow, and watch live streamers on all the major platforms. I searched around to see if there was anything similar, and found a couple browser extensions, that both seemed to want OAuth verification, which I didn&#x27;t want to mess with.<p>StreamE has some unique features, like a universal search across all the major streaming platforms, and a custom following feature as well. Follow streamers you like, and your list of followers is updated and stored in your browser&#x2F;URL for easy bookmarking and sharing. The site requires no logins or signups, shows live indicators next to followed streamers, is mobile friendly, and is dark mode by default.<p>I tried to keep StreamE as simple as possible, it is written in vanilla JS, HTML, and CSS. I use the lz-string library (should be found through a quick Google) to encode the JSON follower data inside the browser and URL. The website hits a couple AWS Lambda endpoints written in NodeJS, which use the various Twitter, Mixer, and YouTube APIs for some of the site functions.
