So I quickly learned that I don't really have the bandwidth to constantly monitor Twitch and host cool Blender streams :) As the next step, I figured I could try to make an automated system that lists current Blender sessions on stream. I'm looking for any streams that contain the word 'blender' (soon to change to #blender, once there's enough activity), and I list the results by number of viewers. Give it a try!
If you're a Twitch streamer, just add #blender to your session's title and it will appear in the overview.
What do you think - is this something you're interested in? Should I put a thumbnail of the current most popular Twitch session on the homepage? Let me know :)

Haha, of course, the moment I post this, the interesting Twitch streams stopped broadcasting :-)
This makes me want to write a script via curl and grep somehow....Have you given any thought to using the Blender channel on Discord instead? I feel like you'd get more people that way. Ask them to add a stream list section.
I have my hands full managing this site - I'll leave Discord to someone else :)
This is so cool, Bart! :)
