# twitch-frontend
twitch-frontend is a privacy respecting frontend for [twitch.tv](https://twitch.tv/)

The main advantages of twitch-frontend are:
 - Private: Every request is proxied through the server, and no logs are kept.
 - Lightweight: Compared to twitch, twitch-frontend is optimized for speed and usability. Scraping is the only current speed issue, but improves with caching

 ## So, what is logged?
 You may have caught the "No identifiable logs are kept",
 When the server encounters an error, a log is kept. The log only includes the error message, the time, and an id, which is also given to the user so the instance owner can investigate the issue. This is mainly only used for debugging, and can be disabled in the config.
