+# twitch-frontend
+twitch-frontend is a privacy respecting frontend for (twitch.tv)[https://twitch.tv/]
+
+The main advantages of twitch-frontend are:
+ - Private: Every request is proxied through the server, and no logs are kept.
+ - Lightweight: Compared to twitch, twitch-frontend is optimized for speed and usability. Scraping is the only current speed issue, but improves with caching
