Shiver
Be in the know when your favorite streamers go live on Twitch, right in your menu bar.
Shiver was created to scratch an itch. Twitch has some features that might be cool to some when it comes to being notified of when streams go live, like email. But that's tough, because I hate email notifications. Likewise, their iOS application has a good (albeit janky at times) push notification experience, but when I want to watch a stream, I don't want to necessarily watch it on my iPhone.
Enter Shiver.
Building Shiver
Shiver will eventually be on the App Store. But if you want to get in on the action now, there are a couple of prerequisites. Make sure you have, Xcode installed. I currently use 4.6.2. After that, install CocoaPods, it's as "easy" as this:
$ gem install cocoapods
$ pod setup
Then, while in the project's directory:
$ pod install
$ open Shiver.xcworkspace
You should be able to build the application. If you're having any problems, please be so kind and file an issue.
