Twickr brings you tweets from top Twitter accounts on the same screen as your live sports on Disney+ Hotstar, enhancing your match experience with live commentary, reactions and insights.
Hello Product Hunt!
Sports is and always has been a communal experience. Being a sports fan is about a whole range of emotions—from disappointment to stress to euphoria—and a huge part of the fan experience is the wave of highs and lows sweeping everyone at the same time. In the same way that the rest of the world has moved to a digital way of doing things, so has the sports fandom. Now it’s social media that leads the fan experience.
I, like many others, scroll through Twitter while watching games. The viewing experience and the social feed are currently disjointed. Twickr aims to bring that together. 🚀
Twickr is a Chrome extension that adds a Twitter feed to live sports streams on Disney+ Hotstar—one of the largest OTT platforms in India, that provides streaming of live sports. The Twickr sidebar sits next to the live match screen and streams tweets in real-time from a curated list of Twitter accounts—official team accounts, journalists, fan channels, and more—enhancing your match experience with live commentary, reactions and insights. Twickr currently supports 3 of the most-watched sports on Hotstar:
🏏 Cricket
⚽ Football
🏁 Formula 1
Try it out (it’s free!) and do share your suggestions and feedback! And if you are a sports fan who has suggestions for interesting accounts to follow, or a sports content creator who would like to be featured, please do reach out on Twitter (https://twitter.com/alxmth03/)!
@alxmth03 Ah I see! Hotstar is an Indian platform - that's why I've never heard of it lol. Looking forward to see it on multiple other platforms in the future 💪
Such a simple and inredible prodcut @alxmth03 🙌🏼🔥
Sports is becoming a social experience especially when viewed on OTTs and this will help people have that at one go 🚀
All the best and so proud to see this out 🙌🏼
FPL updates & live football in the same window? Gamechanger for those like me who've been toggling between devices to keep up with the action for years. Looking forward to the United game on Sunday!
Keping an eye on different screens to follow the game and social media is difficult. Twickr is making it easy to do both on one screen, definitely recommend!
@abhash_kumar2 Thank you, Abhash! Yes, I always was aiming for this weekend - the start of the T20 World Cup Super 12 round, an EPL gameweek, and an F1 GP. It was the perfect storm, and I'm glad I could get it out for the weekend! 🙌
