Installation

You can use go install to install the program (go install github.com/julez-dev/chatuino@latest)

Usage

The binary comes with the account management, the TUI itself and the server component if you want to self host the server.

You can use the --help flag to get help.

account sub-command

You can use the account sub-command to link your twitch account to Chatuino. The command will launch a TUI to help you manage your accounts.

If want to link a new account you need to provide a user token to Chatuino which you can generate with the server component. You can start the auth flow here: https://chatuino-server.onrender.com/auth/start or your own server if you want to.

key-binds

Currently key-binds are hard coded and can not be changed.

Here is an short overview

server sub-command and hosting you own server

The server is responsible for dealing with authentication flows and proxying requests to the Twitch API that require an App Access Token when using an anonymous User. My hosted version is available under https://chatuino-server.onrender.com but you can just run your own version as well.

For this you need to register a new application in the twitch dev console which will give you an Client ID and Client Secret. The server command requires both as environment variables (Launch chatuino server help for more information).

Then you need to configure Chatuino to use your Client ID and API Host (Can be localhost too!)
