StreamStutter: Twitch Lag Detector
Real-time stream quality monitor that alerts Twitch streamers when their bitrate, frame drops, or encoding issues occur before viewers complain in chat
The Problem
Streamers often don't know their stream is degrading until chat explodes with complaints. By then they've already lost viewers. Existing OBS alerts are vague (just red indicators), and Twitch's own dashboard lags by 10-30 seconds, making it impossible to react in time.
Target Audience
Twitch streamers earning $500-10k/month (serious hobbyists and semi-pros who care about viewer retention but can't afford expensive studio setups)
Why Now?
Twitch's recent partnership program changes make retention metrics critical; streamers are desperate for tools that prevent viewer drop-off during technical failures
What's Missing
OBS has internal stats but no smart alerting; Twitch dashboard is too slow and UI-focused rather than real-time notification-focused for quick reaction
