The internet's favorite cartoon snake. A real cutie patootie. One of those guys who's real good at lots of things but not perfect at any one thing.
I moved over there for my alert stuff after Streamlabs OBS decided to try to bully OBS out of its own trademark for their malware infected fork.
Twitch does their own subs/bits/follow alerts so there's no need for 3rd party software. I found https://slime2.stream/ THIS! Slime2! It runs widgets like chat overlays locally on your system so you don't NEED a 3rd party. And since it's still just a browser source it'll load automatically like it always does.
Anyway, my tip link now goes to Ko-Fi.
I made basically the same switch recently too. StreamElements has always been a kludgy mess, so I wasn't heartbroken by having to pivot, and honestly, pretty much all of these tools are much, much easier to work with than SE ever was. My only real complaint is that Ko-Fi's stream integration has basically zero customization at the moment, but it's still better than the alternative, both morally and in terms of workability.
holy fuck thank you for the slime2 link. i tried so hard to find something for local overlays and found nothing. thank you so much
It only does chat overlays at the moment but frankly with Twitch providing their own native alerts now I don't really feel a need for anything else.
yeah, it's more than enough for me. chatbox was really the only thing keeping me from dropping streamelements sooner, since i would have had to build a replacement or something
