App to stream Atom.io sessions as selectable text, as well as selected windows, and webcam

[balupton]

Considering twitch has taken off for gaming, it would be cool to see the same for programming.

The idea is simple, develop an app that is able to provide seperate streams for different apps. If an unsupported app is selected, it streams as image, if a supported app is supported, it streams with an adapter. For instance, an adapter could be made for Atom that streams the active tab name, and the contents of that tab as selectable text.

Someone should then be able to subscribe to these streams, and see each window in a way that they can drag them around.
