Changelog

v3.0.0 · 2024-04-11

The Twitter API is really expensive, and is required to keep this Twitch Extension running. It is easy to calculate the costs, and to keep pulling the tweets for all our users we would have to pay the insane amount of $5.000 per month. This is not viable, especially for a free Extension. We have decided to disable the API, and now just display a link to your Twitter account. It is still possible to customize the Extension with your colors, so you can still make it stand out as opposed to just a panel.

NEW: Frontend caching. The Extension now stores the tweets for a short amount of time, so when a user leaves and comes back to the stream, the feed will load even faster.
NEW: Tweet separator color based on body text color. The color was a mostly transparent white, so on lighter or white backgrounds these lines were not visible.
Premium: The Custom Header Image now has a maximum height based on the viewport height. This means that for example on Mobile the feed will still always be visible, regardless of the size of the Header Image. This doesn't affect most Custom Header Images, as most users use images that have more width than height.

NEW: Video Component! It is now also possible to add your Twitter Feed as a Video Component, over your stream. Using the Extension as a Video Component also enables the Mobile Panel, just like with the Panel anchor.
NEW: Introducing Premium! The main features will remain free of charge, even with how popular the Extension is. You can choose to unlock Premium for Twitter Feed+ to get access to the new Premium features. Premium gives you the option to show two different color schemes, for Twitch's Dark and Light modes. Premium also allows you to upload a custom header image, to integrate the Extension even more with your branding and panel images.
The tweet timestamp now links directly to the status on Twitter, just like on the Twitter website.
Full tweets are now retrieved and displayed in the Extension, showing more attached images and links.
The design of Retweets and Quote-tweets has been updated, making it more obvious what was retweeted or quoted.

Updated the title header to show the Twitter Account's Profile image.
Now displays up to 7 tweets, excluding replies, instead of 3.
Updated the caching to be refreshed when any user presses the refresh button, this also updates the cache for all viewers.

NEW: Mobile Panel! Activating the extension as a Panel is now also visible on mobile devices in the app. It is shown as a small icon on the top of chat, and the chosen styling is also shown in the Mobile Panel.
NEW: Twitter caching. The backend now stores the result for a short amount of time, this improves loading speeds up to 15 times!

Added an option to display or hide the ".. follow @x on Twitter .." banner. Enabled by default.
Twitter username validation in Configuration panel.
Now displays a message when an account has not yet tweeted, just like on Twitter.
FIX: Added error handling for invalid Twitter username.
FIX: Added word-break to tweets, so longer words stay within the container.

Now displays multiple tweets, the last 3 (not showing reply-tweets).
Displays "@x Retweeted" above retweeted statuses.
Displays attached images in the extension itself.
Show shared URL's as clickable attachments.
Displays quoted tweets, below the new tweet.
Added a "Call-to-action"-button below the feed, asking viewers to go to your Twitter.
New default colors, and display the default colors in the color pickers.
Updated the "Missing Config"-text, easier to understand and easier to read.

Show the chosen extension configuration in the Example output.
Made relevant updates to handle new API changes.
FIX: Fixed the refreshing of the window when saving your configuration, preventing the save.
FIX: Fixed an error when refreshing the timeline, preventing the display of the latest tweet that way.
