Now on v0.5.0 alpha

Changelog

What changed in each version of Wisdom of the Chat. The newest is at the top.

v0.5.0 2026-09-27CURRENT

Added

  • A much bigger question pool: 140 questions across 15 categories, including Film & TV, Music, Geography & places, Food & drink, Animals & nature, Space & science, History, World records, Money & prices and After Dark.
  • Every question now tells chat exactly what to answer in, like "Answer in millions of hours" or "Answer with the number of islands".

Changed

  • Bigger "Type in Chat" prompt and answer examples, easier to read on stream.
  • The result banner sits in the middle of the board, larger, away from camera corners. Click it to hide it.

v0.4.0 2026-09-27

Added

  • "Signed in as" indicator above the question, with a light that shows when chat is connected.
  • The Your guess box pulses while the timer runs until the streamer has guessed.

Changed

  • Clearer Sign in & settings button that shows it opens a menu.
  • Rounds can only start once you've signed in with Twitch and your chat is connected.
  • Chat reconnects on its own when you reload the page.

v0.3.0 2026-09-27

Added

  • Spot on names on the result banner for anyone who guessed the exact answer, streamer included. If nobody did, it shows the closest chatters and how far off they were.
  • Auto reveal: the Reveal button counts down (15s by default) and reveals the answer on its own. Change or turn it off in Host.
  • Sign out of Twitch button in Host. It cancels the sign-in with Twitch and removes it from your browser.
  • Privacy, Security and Terms pages, plus this changelog, linked in the footer.
  • Version tag in the footer.
  • Contact line: questions, ideas, bugs and question suggestions go to hello@wotc.stream.

Added

  • Live at wotc.stream on Cloudflare, with HTTPS, security headers and locked-down file access.

  • Question pool of 33 sourced statistics in 5 categories: Human habits, Gaming, Twitch & streaming, Wikipedia and Classics.
  • Crowd wisdom score, based on the Diversity Prediction Theorem.
  • The scale zooms to fit chat's answers. Outliers are parked at the edges.
  • Chat shows while the timer runs, then fades away as everyone flies onto the scale.

  • Code split into separate style and script files.

v0.1.0 2026-09-27
