TwitchLite is a service that distills Twitch streams into bite-size highlight chunks for a more compact viewing experience. The chats of the top 400+ Twitch streams are monitored at any given moment to detect when a highlight occurs, and how standout that particular highlight is.

npm installIn order for the app to be fully functional while developing (and for many of the tests to work),
you will need to configure a few environment variables. You can do so by editing the appropriate
terminal config file based on what shell you are using. If using bash on OS X, you will most likely
need to open up ~/.bashrc, or ~/.zshrc if using ZSH. Whichever file it is, paste the following
at the end of the file:
export TWITCH_CLIENT_ID=REPLACE_ME
export TWITCH_USERNAME=REPLACE_ME
export TWITCH_PASSWORD=REPLACE_ME
export MONGODB_URI=REPLACE_ME
Ensure that each REPLACE_ME is replaced with the appropriate values. Credentials for Twitch
will need to be obtained from the developer section of your Twitch account.
If you are using a local Mongo database for development, your MONGODB_URI will most likely
be mongodb://localhost/twitchlite.
mongod to start Mongo if it is not already running.
npm run build:watch to start Webpack and have it recompile the front-end on file change.
npm run start:server to start the server running (defauls to port 8000).
