  1. Add subscription status to Viewer's JWT

    Add subscriptionStatus to extension JWT. Currently subscriptionStatus is in Twitch.ext.viewer. With it in the JWT, it can be verified by an extension backend.

  2. Add the bits:read scope to bits enabled extensions

    I'm looking to add functionality to an extension where all bits count but bits within the extension have a weighting against those that aren't. I have my own bits transactions through the transactions endpoint but at the moment I have to ask for the scope separately. As my extension is already asking for the `channel:read:subscriptions` I thought it may be a good option to add this as an extra scope to ask for or possibly ask for within the same auth loop as the subscription read

  3. Include username in onAuth callback when a user has granted ID access.

    Some third-party developers request id access on their Extensions just for the purpose of getting a viewer's username to build a more personalized experience. The only way to do so is by relying on the Helix user endpoint on their EBS. The Helix team already modified any payload that has a user id to also deliver a username and save developers the extra step of using the /users endpoint, so it's natural for Extensions to follow that path.

  4. Viewer Only Extensions

    I was thinking, not all extensions need to be tried to a specific channel experience, and don't always interact with the broadcaster at all. Extensions like the chat translator, or maybe a TTS chat for viewers who can't read well, or visually impared, it would be great to have for users on every channel, not just channels where the broadcaster decides they want to use it. My idea is to have extensions that the view can enable on every channels, and possibly have the panel for viewer extensions be where the chat is, and possibly take up the bottom half of the screen, but same dimensions at chat, so you would have the top half of the screen be the chat, and bottom be the panel, or in a case like the translator, allow the viewer to have the panel take up the full height of chat. then the user can switch between their extensions similar to the experience on the streamer dashboard, and the drop down will be able to cycle through the extensions installed, so you can have multiple extensions running on every channel you visit.

  5. Standardize Transaction Timestamp in Bits Transaction JWT

    The given JWT representing the transatction receipt contains a time field that is stringified version of the Golang time object. Parsing in this format is significantly harder than a ISO standard format.

  6. Streamer whitelist removal after extension is live - [Beta release]

    Currently, if you launch an extension with a streamer whitelist, there is no way to remove this whitelist once the extension is live.

    I would like to suggest being able to remove (And only remove not add) the streamer whitelist once the extension is live. This will enable doing 'beta-releases', which is a very common rollout practice and has a lot of benefits for the developer.

    In this way a developer can release an extension to a set group of streamers who want to participate in the beta test.

    Once the developer has determined that things look good and it makes sense to open the usage to all streamers then they can remove the whitelist and do so. If however the developer sees that things arent working as expected or user behavior isnt positive, they can rework the extension and release a subsequent new version and restart the beta.

    This of course should not work in the opposite flow (Add a whitelist after an extension is live) as it could break for streamers who installed the extension but then werent in the whitelist once it was applied. So the ability should be one way. You can remove the whitelist after its live once but not re-apply it.

  8. Allow pubsub whispers in Developer Rig

    The Twitch Developer Rig should support pubsub whispers. It current supports normal broadcasts, but not whispers to target a specific user's frontend.

  9. Allow Developers to Rollback to Approved Extension Versions

    Allowing developers to roll back a released version to another (approved) version would allow developers to quickly address breaking issues without going through a review process.
