fwiw, the desktop app appears to really be just electron with some custom mojo around it. If BTTV is API compatible with BrowserWindow.addDevToolsExtension, this is a 1 button fix. Otherwise should just requires some elbow grease.

Please make an extension/addon for the Twitch Desktop App! I use the web version quite a bit and this would top off the Twitch app. Night, your projects are great and loved by the masses! Thank you!

I just wanted to +1 this idea. I'm a huge fan of the Twitch desktop app. It just runs so much more smoothly than a browser does for Twitch for several hours at a time. I didn't realize how much I loved BTTV until I wasn't able to use it anymore. I'd love for it to be integrated into the app. I would even be willing to pay for the addon.

+1 If this could happen. Totally missing the emotes and being able to see deleted messages.

Since the desktop app is now more full-featured than the web version, we definitely could use this.
edit: Also if it's a lot of trouble I wouldn't have a problem making it paid software to get it on desktop. Seriously, the desktop app is so much better than in-browser, so this is a big deal.

+1 on bttv for app, its easier on my cpu to run twitch and play games at the same time.

@Nimja1 I was using it for the same reason (watching twitch in chrome made my computer fans go crazy everytime) - until I turned off hardware acceleration in the browser. Now the performance in the twitch app and browser are almost the same. Just FYI in case you have the same issue I did!

Add my vote as well. The first thing I was looking for was how to get BTTV working in the desktop app. :(

It really seems like Twitch wants to shut down apps like BTTV and FFZ, and make them switch to their API's because it gives them bigger control. I really hope you find a work-around for when they do make the full switch to an app-based experience :/

by the way, is it just going to be like a mod you install for WoW for example? or will you have to contact twitch devs for implementing it?

If this is going to happen, it's more going to be like Better Discord, injecting scripts into the browser wrapper of the twitch app, but it's going to be a lot more tricky since the Twitch app isn't an exact copy of the browser version and has a lot more native code going on.

I would also love bttv for the twitch app. The app itself is great, but twitch isn't quite the same thing without bttv.

Yes, this would be great! I don't know about the logistics of doing it but it would be excellent if you could get it to work

TwitchApp is ok, I guess. The only thing tht's really missing is the BTTV estension.

@night I know you're probably very busy with fixing bugs and doing other important stuff but would you mind giving us a general statement about this please?
- Is it possible to support BTTV in the Twitch Desktop App?
- Is this feature actively being worked on or is it currently stalled by something?
- Can the community somehow help in order to speed up the development of this feature?
I'd really appreciate a response,
_Cheers!_
