Chatuino – A TUI Twitch chat client built with Go

Renders real Twitch/7TV/BTTV emotes straight in supported terminals and packs moderator features (quick timeouts, user inspect) plus multi-account support and custom commands with Go-template interpolation. Clever engineering choices — Bubble Tea for UI, Kitty/Ghostty image protocol for inline emotes, and a self-hostable auth/proxy — make it a surprisingly feature-complete TUI chat client, but it’s still a niche alternative to established GUI clients.
