StreamHive Wiki

StreamHive lets a viewer watch 2 to 6 Twitch channels at once in a single grid, with sane audio and a dedicated multi-channel chat bar, built entirely on Twitch's official Embed API — no scraping, no per-streamer setup.

This wiki covers the product side of the project: the problem it solves, how the features work for a viewer, the high-level architecture, and where the project is headed. For installation and running the app locally, see the README in the main repository.

Try it live: stream-hive-ten.vercel.app — the backend runs on Render's free tier, so the first request after a period of inactivity can take up to a minute to wake up.

Note

StreamHive is still under active local development — some pages describe features that are shipped and working today, others describe planned or exploratory work. Each page is explicit about which is which; see Roadmap for the full breakdown.
