Description
Watchside goes beyond simply bringing a friends list back to Twitch. It adds a live social layer directly into Twitch that shows what your friends are watching, detects when multiple friends are gathering around the same stream, and lets you jump in with them. Instead of relying only on algorithms or follower counts to decide what to watch, Watchside makes your friends part of discovery. If people you know start gravitating toward a stream, you can see it happening and join them.

Could you build this?
Yes This can be built as a browser extension that reads the current Twitch channel URL, posts presence to a lightweight WebSocket/Supabase backend, and renders a sidebar of friends' active streams.
