Really cool idea. Thanks for sharing.
I could totally see myself using this more if you added 2 options, language and game.
Also interesting would be to display not only 0 streams but also streams with <10 viewers.

Ya I've heard similar ideas with regards to filtering, I'm gonna play around with that for sure. Thanks for the feedback.
I'd love to have a "not interested in this game" button next to the game, which would add that game to the exclude list and spin the wheel again.
Can you use the Twitch tags? That would be even more useful than simply filtering by games.
Technically ya, its just the route im going through to get this data probably has some rate limits that I'd like to avoid hitting. Need to figure out how to poke at this in a friendly enough way.
filtering by game while obvious also means creating a filter bubble - it'd be nice if a you could choose just from 'unpopular games' :)
I thought about both being able to include and exclude games (and non game stuff like IRL, music etc)
If you want searching by game, or other categories, like creative, without seeing the most populated streams, try this:

Why not use twitch directly as it already has those filter-options?
I believe this is a lesser-known feature of twitch.
For anyone unaware, you can go to the Browse tab [0] and filter all live channels by a tag, which includes languages. You can also pick a game or category like "Just Chatting" first, then filter by language.
This is how I discover random korean streamers. You can also sort by "Viewers (Low to High)" or "Recently Started".
