The following are notes and details recapping a past live stream where we live code together. The idea behind these streams is that they provide real-world examples of running into problems and solving them or working towards solving them live.

Stream Replay
Goals
✅ Warm up/Catch up with chat
✅ Today's coffee mug
✅ Slopper stopper
✅ Chair appearance
✅ Bower appearance
✅ Change category from Just Chatting ➡ Science & Technology
✅ Stretch/Break between ~1-2 hour mark
❌ Add !mark/!note chat command to stream-note-taker tool and test
✅ Closing and raid @h3h394
Results
- Designed and thought out requirements for new !mark/!note feature
- Did a lot of figuring out how to do the calculation of stream uptime (date/time math)
Things we learned
- How to calculate the difference in time between two UTC dates with moment.js
- moment.js library
- date-fns library
Next Steps
- Write tests for the new
stream.js
functionsgetStreamStartTime
andgetStreamUptime

02:38:48 | We start the journey on figuring out date/time math to determine stream uptime |
02:53:00 | Using the Quokka.js VS Code extension to run and test our code doing date/time math |
02:55:15 | Checking out date-fns library to help with the date/time math |
02:55:15 | Going with moment.js library instead for the date/time math |
04:12:30 | @ElectricHavoc comes in ftw with a solution to our date/time math problem |
04:17:30 | What does "epoch" mean? |
04:28:54 | Closing and raid @h3h394 |
Idea's Sparked by Today's Stream
- (@LittleDan45) scene chair but then it should use voice mod so you could just keep talking
- (@mholloway24) Can you change the bulb to a party mode on raid?
- (@PatPat1567) Add visual effect (pic or video of Bower howling) for !howl
