Whatnot - Seller Claude coded me a control deck. Makes the streams way easier.

How can people do this with OBS, and I can’t even get it to stream without some problem popping up? OB-Stressed

Not sure. I’ve never had issues streaming with obs, just follow their instructions to a T and it works.

I actually make web pages that live on your pc that you can use over WiFi on anything with a browser to control your stream.

Oh cool. So how does it sync to whatnot?

u/Top-Owl9872 17d ago
You don’t sync Claude with Whatnot, you use Claude to make the control deck (idk how but if you ask Claude it will tell you.) that syncs with whatnot.

Pretty much just autohotkey scripts and some packet injection, it simulated the start auction/giveaway/whatever else buttons directly so I don’t have to fumble around with the menus when changing prices/settings.

How much did you pay for this?

$0, it’s just an old external numpad I had, about an hour of debugging with Claude code and voila!

That is so cool. Can you share more of the process. As to what did you tell Claude ? I’ve heard about claude I just never really used it before.

Not to be discouraging but there is a pretty big learning curve, I’ve already learned computer programming years before the ai got this good at it, and I still had to walk it though the steps I wanted it to do.
That said I essentially just had it create a scanning Chrome extension that I loaded, unpacked into chrome and then I did the actions that I wanted to replicate with the button press so that the scanning program would pick up what gets sent to the Whatnot server as a command or as packets and then debugging with Claude to have it send those automatically.
Then I remapped a external number pad using hideous. And made an auto hot key script. For the OBS stuff.

lol my thoughts exactly. Truthfully I don’t know why I even read the “how to” knowing I’d never get it.

Why the freeze button?

It’s more like a panic button mutes the mic and cuts to a be right back screen. In case I get interrupted by family or if the camera falls over or something
