About

TMoohI acts as a layer between your client applications and Twitch chat servers (Twitch Message Interface, "TMI").

It manages all connections to twitch chat servers via a single client connection. Additionally, it handles rate limits, allowing bots to send an arbitrary amount of messages without being globally banned from twitch for 2 hours.

Additionally, it seeks to prevent excessive connection initiation (and therefore being kicked from twitchs servers) by keeping track of how many connections were created.

Features

• Connect to twitch chat in an instant, without having to worry about connect/join rate limits
• Restart your client without needing to reconnect to twitch, all channels are available instantly
• IRCv3.0
• realtime online statistics and debug output via WebSockets
• Connection crash/death/reconnect detection and handling
• IRC Client compatible
