Anybody took a peek?

What language, and framework if they use one, do they use?

Here are a few screenshots of go and php: https://sizeof.cat/post/twitch-leaks/.

WARNING: do not click the link, copy it and paste it in new tab.

They check the referrer, see it's from HN and redirect to an image instead.

So by copy + paste into a new tab, it will lose the HN referrer.

on firefox, disabling referrer means you won't see the image

    network.http.sendRefererHeader = 0

I know the original frontend used ember.js but then they switched to react... that's about all I know :D

(twitch used to sponsor and attend local ember.js meetups)

A mix of Go, Ruby, Python, Elixer from what I saw.
