stream-chat-rebooted is here

This release marks the rebirth of Izzy's original stream-chat project under its new maintained name: stream-chat-rebooted.

Full credit for the original overlay and foundation still goes to Izzy and the original project at https://github.com/izzy/stream-chat. This continuation keeps that work alive with new platform support, a refreshed generator, and active maintenance going forward.

What's new

  • Renamed the project and update-check flow to stream-chat-rebooted.
  • Updated version checking to use releases from narnacle/stream-chat-rebooted instead of izzy/stream-chat.
  • Bumped the overlay version to 0.4.0.
  • Removed the old March 2026 online-overlay deprecation warning.
  • Added Streamer.bot chat support toggles for Twitch, YouTube, and Kick.
  • Added Kick chat support, including messages, emotes, badges, and message removal after Kick bans/timeouts.
  • Added optional platform logos for Twitch, YouTube, and Kick, separate from regular user badges.
  • Added optional user avatar display when Streamer.bot provides profile image URLs.
  • Added a pronouns toggle, enabled by default, with pronoun lookups skipped when disabled.
  • Reworked timestamps so they appear after usernames and pronouns instead of before avatars.
  • Replaced the raw websocket URI field with separate address and port fields; ws:// is now added automatically.

Generator UI updates

  • Modernized the Stream Chat Overlay URL generator layout and styling.
  • Fixed tooltip layering/positioning so help text no longer appears behind neighboring sections.
  • Added platform enable/disable controls that persist in generated URLs.
  • Improved field layout, responsive behavior, and visual organization.
  • Updated the generator title/subtitle and option labels for the rebooted project.

Chat overlay polish

  • Improved chat bubble styling, spacing, badge alignment, emote sizing, and wrapping.
  • Fixed badge overlap issues in the live chat display.
  • Fixed long words overflowing with >> by using word wrapping instead.
  • Replaced the debug preview messages with funnier sample chat lines.
  • Added Kick entries to the preview rotation so all enabled platforms can be seen.
  • Removed the hardcoded YouTube logo from regular badges; platform identity is now controlled by the platform logo option.

Docs

  • Updated the README to describe this repository as an active continuation of Izzy's project.
  • Updated supported platform documentation for Twitch, YouTube, and Kick.
  • Added documentation for platform logos, user avatars, pronouns, and the rebooted version check.
  • Updated local path examples and hosted generator information.
