LIVE CHAT
FROM TERMINAL

YouTube, Twitch, and Kick chat, kept beside the code instead of behind another browser window.

Read-only. Automatic stream discovery. Built to stay open on your own machine.

HOW THIS WORKS

One command. The active conversation.

Livefeed checks which provider is connected, finds the broadcast that is live now, and opens its chat in a responsive terminal feed.

Start it before going live. It waits offline, checks again, and connects without a restart. If multiple providers are connected, a compact shell prompt asks which chat to open.

YouTube history loads before new messages arrive. Twitch history is restored from the local machine. Network loss is reported, retries are automatic, and messages already received stay visible.
