Chatuino is a cross-platform TUI utilizing bubbletea to bring a feature rich Twitch Chat Client to your terminal.
Note: This project is still in early development (colors may be weird, terminals may not work, panics may happen and resizing may cause issues/become glitchy etc.)
Chatuino aims to be a feature rich and portable Twitch Chat Client for your terminal.
The name and idea to create a Twitch Chat Client and many features are inspired by Chatterino and twitch-tui.

You can use go install to install the program (go install github.com/julez-dev/chatuino@latest) or grab a binary from the releases page.
The binary comes with the account management, the TUI itself and the server component if you want to self host the server.
You can use the --help flag to get help.
You can use the account sub-command to link your twitch account to Chatuino. The command will launch a TUI to help you manage your accounts.
If want to link a new account you need to provide a user token to Chatuino which you can generate with the server component. You can start the auth flow here: https://chatuino.net/auth/start or your own server if you want to.
Make sure to take a look at the settings doc to find more details about configuration and more advanced features like key-binds, emote display and chat log storage.
The server is responsible for dealing with authentication flows and proxying requests to the Twitch API that require an App Access Token when using an anonymous user. My hosted version is available under https://chatuino.net but you can just run your own version as well. This server is running on the lowest tier possible on hetzner cloud, so don't expect too much performance.
For a guide on how to host your own server see the self-host guide.
