Pairing with Jhey Tompkins

On , DEV Community member Jhey Tompkins joined @coffeecraftcode and I on the pairing stream to have some fun and help us build out a Twitch overlay using our mascot, Sloan!

Watch the pairing session with Jhey below to catch up on what you missed:

On this stream, we talked about:

  • Sloan, DEV's awesome mascot!
  • Twitch overlays
  • ComfyJS (which allows folks to interact with a Twitch stream via chat commands)
