Hi all! I've been working on a web-based split timer that I'm calling SplitWatch. It's not quite ready for widespread use, but I'm at the point where I could use some guidance on what features would be most useful. The idea is that you will have one view for your stream, and one view for controlling the timer, from your desktop or phone.
To give some some background, I'm using Elgato Game Capture on a Mac for my stream. There aren't as many timer options on a Mac, and Elgato generally doesn't play nice with OBS either. But as a professional web developer, I realized that a web-based timer would be able to work, and I could even set it up so you could use your phone too.
I have specific questions about what the most convenient way to log into the app would be - if that's a Twitch account, a Google account, a Discord account, or something else. Integration with splits.io is on my radar, but if there are other services, I'm happy to look into them too.
If you'd like to see a demo of it in action, check out a recent VOD of a Super Metroid run: (just be nice about the part where I spent five minutes trying to get Oceanfly, haha.)
Thanks in advance!
I would LOVE a web based splits timer as I’d much rather time things on my phone than my computer! As for logging in the app I’d say any of those log in options you suggested would probably good. I would probably go for google though just because more people have that. Also I can’t watch your video for some reason, I think it’s broken. But I totally love this idea and am really looking forward to being able to use this!
