Field notes

Hominka combines Twitch, Kick, and YouTube messages into a single desktop overlay for streamers who cannot spare a second monitor. The page describes a Ctrl+Alt+Space lock that passes clicks through to the game, plus a CSS editor, animated 7TV/BetterTTV/FrankerFaceZ emotes, and support for DirectX, OpenGL, and Vulkan. It offers a 3.1 MB Windows build, Linux and other versions, GitHub source, and a GPL-3.0 license.
