Changing the "preview" bar to a "switch / preview" bar #32

I've been thinking about the interface a bit as I use the app and I've come to the conclusion that the links in the preview tab make me feel that clicking on them will take me to that steam. This would be okay functionality, considering the app is called "twitch switch"

So here's what I was thinking:

  1. Change the title of the preview tab to be "Switch Streams" or "TwitchSwitch"
  2. Make the links in this tab take you to the other streams.
  3. The right side of the links will have some kind of icon that says "preview" upon mouse-over which, upon click, will pop up the preview box of the stream.

Don't implement this just yet, I was writing down my thoughts on it to throw it out there. Would love some feedback

Option 2:

  1. Make the links in the side-bar clickable and draggable.
  2. Dragging a link into space will produce a preview box of that stream where you drop the link.
  3. Dropping a link on top of the current stream being watched will replace the stream with the one that was dropped, ideally all in an ajax call
