It can be daunting to get into streaming or content creation in general. Where do I start? What should I stream? How do I organize my work? When we started out on our own journey in March 2020, we faced the same questions. We wished for a tool that could help us do research and organize our work as content creators. Since we didn't find such a tool, we decided to create one.
EistenGaming Streamist (eg.streamist, pronounced like "extremist" :p) aims to help content creators organize their work, define their audience, find their niche and track their progress over all major content delivery platforms. We aim for Youtube, Twitch and Facebook Gaming (since Mixer is now dead). The current focus lies on Twitch.
eg.streamist is a multiplatform application based on the Quasar meta-framework. Currently, only the Windows platform is tested, but Mac and Linux should run just fine. We are also looking into making eg.streamist available on Android (phones and tablets) as well as iOS devices.
A note on Twitch credentials: Please note that you need a Twitch
clientIDandclient secret. If you are unsure how to get these, check out the documentation here: Twitch Authentication. The credentials are required to access your channel information that is not available publicly. Also, it allows the app to take action on behalf of your Twitch account (e.g. chat moderation, change stream info text, etc).
eg.streamist is portable, no installation required. Just unzip it and run Streamist.exe.
