If I were to do Windows, which I'm considering after iOS and tvOS, I think I'd prefer to use C# to keep it truly native. the c++ backend would port right over so it wouldn't be too terrible I don't think.
the official twitch app for apple tv is... not so great.
If you're keen on taking feature requests, here's a difficult one:
- OLED TVs are incredible, but my previous 2017 vintage LG eventually suffered burn-in from long-running streams with static imagery (streamer logo)
- I doubt you have any way to really mess with the actual video content at all, but some form of mitigation for static imagery would be a dream come true for us oled owners.
for sure! I've had a bunch of people in the community ask for tvOS so I'm excited to be able to make it reality.
The OLED consideration is something I wouldn't have thought about, but that's a really good thing to keep in mind. even if I can't mess with the video itself, it's not an issue to display content over top of it. It really just comes down to what's needed to ensure no issues with burn in.
Thanks for writing this. Suggest elaborating on the reason for using C++ in a Swift App.
Love the look of this app. I'd love to see it ported to Windows since swift now supports it.
thank you! glad to hear you like the UI.

thank you for working on a tvOS version!!!

You can actually code native Windows apps in C++. Both the Win32 API and WinUI support it without using C#.
