Great tools for peopleanaging Twitch streams.

Weird to me, there's almost no consumer facing API of note. I just want to mamage my favorite channels and categories, & the web interface is terroble- only shows like 18 results & that's all. There's no api either.

Did note, while poking around, twtich's front end is some pretty wild graphql.

Thanks for linking people the site that shows exactly what Im saying:

Many tools for running a channel, producing content,

No tools/apis for consuming/viewing. No way of managing who you follow & how you browse or experience twitch.

Ok so my knowledge of the Twitch API is apparently outdated, but there were at one point APIs that allowed for at least managing your follows.

They removed those endpoints last year[1], to help combat abuse.

Yep, I only just learned this in this thread. I went looking to see whether they had re-added follow APIs in the new API and found that deprecation notice.
