1. Long-term roadmap visibility

   I'd love to see a public long-term roadmap for changes and improvements coming to Twitch Dev items.

   Reason being, I want to know what's coming, especially in terms of deprecation, so I can plan my time in advance. I would hate to spend so much time on new features using current services just for them to be removed later on.

3. Path to Partner/Verified for Bots?

   Some major bots have Partner/Verified status.

   It would be great to have a documented path for other developers to submit their bots for Partner/Verified badges.

4. Create a path for getting listed in the "Streaming Tools" section of the dashboard

   In the streamer dashboard there's a section for "Streaming Tools" which lists applications in various different categories.

   Selfishly I'd love to get the app I'm working on listed here. I'm sure other tool developers would too.

   Having some sort of application / review process to get your tool listed here would (hopefully) be a huge benefit to getting new users.

   If this process already exists, I haven't found it.

5. Proper error codes

   Right now, if an API call fails, we can only rely on the HTTPS status to know what could have gone wrong.
   While on few endpoints a 400 status can be caused by only one kind of error, for most endpoints such status can be caused by multiple kind of errors.

   For example, the reward creation endpoint ( https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/api/reference/#create-custom-rewards ) thorws a 400 if any input is wrong. There are 11 cases listed.
   The only detail we have is an english text explaining what went wrong which we cannot do much with but display it as is to the user.

   This does not allow us to provide proper UX.
   Let's say I have a reward creation form, if I want to highlight the errored field depending on the endpoint result, or let's say I want to localize the error message, that's not something possible to date.

   Having a property like "error_code" containing an ID would help solving such cases.

   For example, the reward creation endpoint could send codes like these:
   MISSINGTITLE
   AUTOMODTITLE
   INVALIDCOST
   PROMPTTOO_LONG
   ...

   Right now, if an API call fails, we can only rely on the HTTPS status to know what could have gone wrong.
   While on few endpoints a 400 status can be caused by only one kind of error, for most endpoints such status can be caused by multiple kind of errors.

8. Expand moderator EventSub add/remove

   Let me get eventsub moderator add/remove events for my bot. Right now the current add/remove is by broadcaster, so I need thousands of eventsub subscriptions.

   Allowing me to sub with a moderator ID instead would reduce thousands of subscriptions to two. :)

13. Whisper rate limit increases

    I'd love to have the ability to request whisper rate limit increases for Twitch whispers, with approved use cases.

    The current limit makes sense for smaller bots, but is too restrictive for larger bots and certain use cases. The ability to even request a rate limit increase would be great.

15. Move the API tutorials to the Tutorial page/section

    Currently the API tutorials are between the general API explanation and it keeps pushing the reference lower and can create confusion to a first time visitor as they're titled like those might be the only endpoints

16. Github Issue Check-ins

    In TwitchDev streams, folks often link to various defects reported at https://github.com/twitchdev/issues/ that are blocking progress for their third-party application. It would be nice to have a regular section of the TwitchDev broadcast that revisits each of the issues that were mentioned in the previous stream & provides a status update

19. Modernise the Game Developer documents

    There are a couple page, https://dev.twitch.tv/gamedevelopers/ and the Developer Playbook, https://dev.twitch.tv/gamedevelopers/development/ which are very outdated. It includes references to products that simply no longer exist, other products that have changed, data from 5 years ago, broken embeds due to missing clips, and there's missing information such as the Game Engine Plugin.

    Over the past year I've seen 3 different game developers (One working on a AAA title, the other two were individual indie developers) whose first investigations into Twitch as a Game Developer lead them to that playbook and having a negative opinion of Twitch's situation with Game Developers. This is of course a tiny fraction of developers, and I mainly work with the UK games industry so a small sample size too, but I'm sure these 3 represent a larger number of Game Developers that see this as another indication of Twitch not connecting with the Games industry.

    Here are some of the current issues with the Game Developer Playbook as it currently stands:

    • In the section "Game Types Overview", a 5th type of game that may be worth a mention are the games that focus on community interaction, such as Jackbox Party Pack, Marbles on Stream, and similar. These games may only get a fraction of the viewership of some of the major titles, but their viewership patterns are much more uniform throughout a year and usually often see steady growth rather than the spikes of Indie games, the sudden peaks and steady falls of annual games. This can also be a great opportunity to briefly introduce the benefits of Twitch Viewer interaction into the sustainability of a game.

    • In the section "Game Phases & High-level Recommendations", it contains quite old data, referring to "nine out of 10 top titles on Twitch in 2018 were released before 2018.". In 2023 it appears from current data that 10 out of 10 of the top 10 games were released in previous years, and it's only when looking to the top 20 by watch time where Diablo IV and Overwatch 2 are games that have been released this year.

    • The section "Twitch can help you at any stage of your game development lifecycle." makes references to 'mods', which should perhaps be removed as it's not applicable any more.

    • The "Identity" section could be updated to include DCF, as for some types of games it can be beneficial to show the full range of authentication options as some games may now have a suitable way to integrate with with the Auth Code or Implicit flows.

    • In "Interactive Extensions" it could be worth also including the example of ECHOcast, which takes things a step further than viewers being able to help/hinder the broadcaster but also gain rewards themselves within their own game. This increases the benefit of people who own and play the game to continue to view other people who are streaming that game. Additionally, multiple sections in the playbook refer to the Level of Effort for Extensions as 1 week, but I would say this is an unrealistic amount of time as it doesn't include the on average 2 to 10 days of review so could mislead developers in planning their time and potentially missing deadlines.

    • The "Drops" process references VHS, and is incorrect for the current Drops workflow.

    • The "Mods" section focuses on the now defunct Twitch Desktop App, and a curseforge Mod Manage Extension. This section, and references to mods on Twitch, should be removed entirely from the multiple pages that show off mods.

    • "Next Steps" Indicates the first step is to 'register' the game on the TwitchDev console, but the game needs to be on IGDB before it can be claimed on Twitch so that should be added as a step (either before or after Org creation on the TwitchDev console). Also, it may be worth including the TwitchDev Discord server, in addition to the twitter/forums/TwitchDev channel.

    • The entire section on "Broadcast with Extensions at Major Trade Shows" is dated, as it's entirely about E3.

    • The "Bounty Board" and "Twitch Advertising" stats should be looked in to, as more current data may be even more of an incentive to utilize the Bounty Board, or Twitch Advertising.

    • The example in "Engagement Extensions" includes a video that's a screen capture of a browser window that shows the Extension taking the view off-platform, and the button that took them off-platform was labeled "Results and Standing" but failed to take them to any results or standings. So is perhaps not an ideal video to show of viewer engagement in an Extension

    • The "Esports" section talks about a PUBG Extension, then shows a video of a completely unrelated, non-existent, Extension, on a now non-existent channel, that barely had any viewers/followers at the time of the video, and the window capture even showed that their followed channel Dr Disrespect was live... IIRC StatsHelix is defunct now anyway, and they've become Datawisp.

    • "Twitch Rivals" embeds a Clip which has since been deleted, so just shows an error embed.

    There are a couple page, https://dev.twitch.tv/gamedevelopers/ and the Developer Playbook, https://dev.twitch.tv/gamedevelopers/development/ which are very outdated. It includes references to products that simply no longer exist, other products that have changed, data from 5 years ago, broken embeds due to missing clips, and there's missing information such as the Game Engine Plugin.
