Aka James Van Eden - Developer
James was one of the first developers who started creating Twitch extensions as a hobby when this feature was released in late 2017. As a long time Twitch fan who always liked to code in his free time, he believed this innovation will have a bright future. Just half a year after Twitch enabled monetization for extensions and James developed his second extension, Sound Alerts, an interactive tool that allows viewers to play sounds on the stream. The quick success of the extension allowed James to make a living on creating and running Twitch extensions. Today Sound Alerts has been installed by more than 30.000 streamers.
