I’ve had a think, and I can’t come up with any reason why this can’t be done, but I don’t want to waste time if it’s impossible.
Essentially, I want to host a site on my droplet that takes inputs from the user, it does something with these inputs, and streams the result on twitch. Obviously, this would be automated and wouldn’t require any manual input from me after it’s all initialised.
I’ve played around with VNC to get a desktop environment already on my droplet. In theory, could I stream this?

Greetings!
From my perspective, this is absolutely possible. Twitch seems to document it’s API quite well:

Take a look here at a Python app that can be used to stream various inputs to Twitch:

Whether or not a code library will already exist to help you get from Point A to Point B on this project is a different story, but the idea that it is possible to do what you are looking to do (as a high level theory) seems like a definite yes to me.
