Show HN: FanCave – the twitch chat for live sports
- extraduder_ire 3y agoCool idea. Wish it worked from the website.
- xingped 3y agoI don't know if you have some bizarre scroll library implemeted on your link or if you just absolutely overloaded the page with resources but scroll is extremely sluggish and laggy.
- KomoD 3y ago> Join thousands of fans reacting live to every game Is it actually thousands though? The android app has 50+ downloads
- gardenhedge 3y agoReviews seem faked too
- mrandish 3y agoI'm not a huge sports fan but this is an interesting idea. Currently a lot of people watch and post to Twitter during games but unless you've assembled a very well curated list of people, the signal to noise is usually terrible. That's going to be a big issue with any large chat group as we see in crowded YT and Twitch live feeds. I think the key is to have features that let mods curate the feed in real-time to spotlight good posts out of the fire hose of typical crap. Probably should also have an upvoting system that auto-elevates better posts to featured status (with votes automatically meta-weighted by user reputation, viewing frequency, etc). I only watch recorded TV via DVR where I can easily skip commercials. For example, in the case of the NFL team I follow, I start watching their games on the DVR an hour and 15 minutes after it starts. After skipping commercials, time outs and half-time, I catch up close to real-time right near the end. So for me, such a service wouldn't be usable unless it had a good replay feature with granular DVR-like skip-ahead controls so I could keep the feed in sync.
