How can we improve the developer experience on Twitch?

Fix your "getting started" guide.

This is a horrible getting started page. The authentication manager example does not actually do any connecting. There's nothing to initially trigger the login. Per the comment in the "logged out" status, adding a call to GetAuthInformation() then changes the status to "Loading" which isn't even mentioned. Nothing happens from there. Making a call to GetAuthenticationInfo() gives a MaybeResult that's null. Nothing further can happen. There's also an undeclared variable "RequiredScopes" there. This whole guide is an epic fail.

    On unity I solved the problem

    const float REFRESH_SECOND = 1;
    readonly TwitchOAuthScope[] SCOPES = new TwitchOAuthScope[] {
    TwitchOAuthScope.Bits.Read,
    TwitchOAuthScope.Channel.ManageBroadcast,
    TwitchOAuthScope.Channel.ManagePolls,
    TwitchOAuthScope.Channel.ManageRedemptions,
    TwitchOAuthScope.Channel.ReadHypeTrain,
    TwitchOAuthScope.Channel.ManagePredictions,
    TwitchOAuthScope.Clips.Edit,
    TwitchOAuthScope.User.ReadSubscriptions};

    GameTask<AuthenticationInfo> _authInfoTask;
    GameTask<AuthState> _curAuthState;

    /// <summary>
    /// Thread for the connection to twitch API
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    private void ConnectionToApplicationAPI()
    {
    switch (_curAuthState.MaybeResult.Status)
    {
    case AuthStatus.LoggedIn:
    break;

    case AuthStatus.WaitingForCode:
    break;

    case AuthStatus.LoggedOut:
    case AuthStatus.Loading:
    //Remake a connection
    if (_authInfoTask == null)
    _authInfoTask = Twitch.API.GetAuthenticationInfo(SCOPES);

    StartCoroutine(CheckAuthInfoTask());
    break;
    }
    }

    /// <summary>
    /// Thread to open a web page for logging the user
    /// </summary>
    /// <returns></returns>
    IEnumerator CheckAuthInfoTask ()
    {
    while (true)
    {
    switch (_authInfoTask.Task.Status)
    {
    case TaskStatus.Created:
    case TaskStatus.WaitingForActivation:
    case TaskStatus.WaitingToRun:
    case TaskStatus.Running:
    case TaskStatus.WaitingForChildrenToComplete:
    case TaskStatus.RanToCompletion:
    Application.OpenURL(_authInfoTask.Task.Result.Uri);
    yield break;
    case TaskStatus.Canceled:
    yield break;
    case TaskStatus.Faulted:
    yield break;
    }

    yield return new WaitForSeconds(REFRESH_SECOND);
    }
    }

    Yep, it's really bad. I should change several things to get it working.

    And I've just realized that the API is incomplete :')
