A simple twitch extension which can display and update follow buttons in real time

Hi there 👋

I'm a Front-end Developer with a life-long hobby of dance games, currently focused on StepManiaX.

I work at Twitch and have touched most of the core features on the site over the past 10+ years.

I maintain DDR.tools which is used by many dance game tournaments for randomized song picks. Most of my open source work is focused on this or on related efforts.

Extension causes black element to cover entire video

I was trying to watch a stream today, and the video was black, but I could hear it, and I could also see it if I turned on picture in picture. After some experimentation, I discovered that this extension was causing a black web element to cover the entire video. Disabling or hiding the extension fixed the problem. I suspect that twitch may have made some sort of change that broke this extension, because I haven't had a problem with it before.

However, I did just update chrome, also. I'm using Chrome Version 89.0.4389.90 (Official Build) (64-bit) on Windows 10 20H2. I also have bttv and ffz extensions installed in chrome.

Programatically update buttons

Is there a way to update the buttons programmatically, say, through an API?
From what I can gather via the README, the backend is no longer used (I assume thanks to the new twitch extension datastore?) - can 3rd party apps interact with that by any chance?
Thanks!

Annoying button

I already followed channel but this button does not disappear for me. I can temporary disable plugin but after reloading this large button still annoys me. why?
