Side Projects
Here are some small websites & projects that I've built, usually while livestreaming on Twitch 😉
StreamerWiki 🧠
Have you ever felt that you don't understand how Twitch's features work? Did you ever wonder what that mysterious button in your Twitch dashboard did? You're not alone! For that reason, I started a community project in order to document how Twitch features work.
Decision Science for Analysts 🎯
Most analysts don't take decisions - but I believe they should! After nearly 6 months of preparation, I launched my first live-learning cohort on taking better decisions using data in October 2023. If you're interested in joining an upcoming class, come check it out on Maven.
JustInLetters 𝌣
Reading chat while streaming can be very stressful! So I built a small website to allow you to read any Twitch chat with the principles of Bionic Reading. More information about the project and link to the site are on Github.
SRT CSV Parser 💬
Easily parse 1 or more .srt files into a consolidated .csv file, for clean use in SQL databases or elsewhere. The project is open-source on my Github page.
Datiddle 🔠
This is a Wordle clone, but where the word dictionary only contains data & analytics terms. I built it as a little bit of joke, in order to trick Twitch into giving me my own streaming category. The game is still fun to play so give it a try!
Stream-Freehand ✍️
A fork of the project Perfect-Freehand, this is a greenscreened-app where you can draw pressure-sensitive lines. This is ideal for opening on a tablet and then being able to draw, using your finger, OVER your livestream. You can get it set up by following the instructions here.
JustInChatters 👀
Built primarily for Twitch streamers (but can be used by anyone). JustInChatters is a small visual representation of all users connected to your Twitch chat. After you authenticate with your Twitch account, you can fetch the different users connected to your chat. For now, it's not possible to view other streams than your own channel in this manner. Using some CSS magic we can style the users to be more pleasant to look at. Additional features like bot identification, highlighting digital services and being able to highlight users permanently make it a natural thing to have open while you're streaming! More information about the project and link to the site are on Github.
StreamBingo 🎲
A game for bringing livestreaming communities endless amounts of fun! StreamBingo is a livestreamer version of bingo primarily designed to be played on Twitch, but could theoretically be used on other platforms too. Some background details and a readme are available on Github. You can even fork the project and create a version for your favourite streamer (or yourself!) like I did for MindsetByDave
ColourBox 🎨
In our streaming community we have joked about people "stealing colours"; specifically around the context of people trying to register colours as NFTs. It's a pretty funny idea, so I built an interactive game that anyone can play while I am streaming by simply using their Channel Points (that you accumulate while watching a streamer on Twitch) to claim a colour of your choice. Now you can finally fulfill your dream of owning a colour!
Cook Eat Recipes 🥘
For my former startup Cook Eat we wanted a way for the community to easily share recipes with each other. Most recipe sites have a ton of bloat and advertising, so I built a no-nonsense recipe site (in German) to get nice recipes, curated by me, my co-founder and closest friends. Definitely one of the most technical projects I have worked on (with a lot of help!). It uses TypeScript and NextJS, with Contentful as a CMS and Algolia for clever search.
JustInNumbers 📊
Part of livestreaming also entails looking at your analytics! As a streamer, I find it incredibly difficult to understand what is happening on my stream as it's running. Therefore, I set out to build the best real-time analytics service for livestreamers, to help them optimise their content while streaming. The project changed over several years as I found it too difficult to create something of this size next to my dayjob. Therefore the aim of JustInNumbers is to be the one-stop place for all information on your Channel Points. The project website is here and you'll find me working on this live on stream!

Yes, this website was also built by me 😜
