About Chatty
Chatty is a Twitch Chat Client for Desktop written in Java featuring many Twitch specific features. I learned about most of the Java techniques and APIs used in this during development, so many things won't be designed ideally. I also never released such a project as opensource before, so if I missed anything or didn't adhere to some license correctly, please tell me.
