Overwatch stream by hero

Overwatch Hero Streamer

Learn how to play a hero! Automatically plays the top-viewed stream for a specific hero. When the player switches to another hero, the stream will automatically switch to the next streamer for that hero.

herostream's Issues

Text for front page / no streams found for a hero

Confusing to new users when there's no streams for a hero (monstercat plays) or on the front page.

Ideally there should be some sort of big ol text telling people what's wrong and what to do about it.

Only work after visiting index

The website only works properly if you visit the index page first. To reproduce the issue open a new tab and type url of specific hero, you should see the monstercat stream (from what I understood its the default one)

After that go to main page and click on the hero name and you will see that there actually is a stream on that hero.

Clean up and extend to examine more than top 200 streams

Currently server-side there's a hacky implementation that checks the top 200 streams. There's no reason this should be limited to only the top 200, and it helps lead to there not being streams for some heroes.

A good implementation would make the number of streams to find configurable.
