Caffeinated

Caffeinated is a tool suite for live-streamers (made by us :D ).
It uses SvelteKit for it's UI and Kaimen for the webview. You can find it here.






Limitations

  • You cannot use Swing, AWT, or JavaFX on macOS due to how macOS handles UI threads (Not while the main thread is being used for a Webview).
  • You cannot open more than one webview at a time on macOS or while using the (unsupported) webview project implementation.

TODO

  • Readme
  • Some usage docs
  • A better example project
