Firstly, I asked 5UB he said it should be OK to share

Description
Allows you to watch Twitch from your desktop, save favourite user names switch Streams with Video/Chat separately & quickly by using your favourite username list.

Why I made this in Spoiler

I was bored, Trying to think of an application to make. After an hour my Friend said I want a quick easy desktop app to watch twitch with resizeable window & separate chat. So after some time I got first try at it & this is what I have [i also wanted it low Usage, so you could use it in the background.

This is very early software & Not even put all the error exception in yet.
However, got 5 users using it with very little problems so far.

its fulfilled it purpose for my friend but a few people who are now testing it said its really useful for them so thought it would be for you to.

if you do try Let me know your thoughts & ideas on improving.

You know you can pop out both the player and chat and resize both don't you?? Or am I being thick and missing the point of your program (and for that I apologize if so)

you can yeh, but he asked for desktop version as twitch site is poo apparently. I don't use twitch myself. also thinking of adding profile editing later on.

like I said it it got my friends needs met just wanted to see if others wanted it.

Apparently it also allows you to have maximized video on screen 2 when giving focus to another app on screen 1 which twitch doesn't support according to another friend

Fullscreen works on flash now as long as it's not muted, if it's muted it will minimise when you click on something on the other screen though.

16:10 monitors solve that though as you can just max the popout window and it's full screen without being maximised

.

Seems like it might be a decent app but I don't really see why you'd install something when you can just use a browser.

eh honestly nothing wrong with the twitch site, always have chrome open anyway so dont see the use of this personally

Nice work but really not needed.

that's fair enough, guess my friends are a bit weird

though, its a portable exe

i am going to take a moral victory on this though. on systems now days does not matter(might just be my chrome?)
Chrome 1 Tab - Twitch Live Stream + chat = 389MB ram
QKTwitch - Twitch LiveStream + Chat = 99MB

This is all I do atm

Works in windows and linux

I normally pop out the video, move it to my second screen and make it full screen so I can carry on with what I'm doing while still watching the stream on 2nd monitor
