To start with the easy part, filtering out "Starting soon" streams is most likely not going to be an implemented feature as there's no reliable way to determine what constitutes a "Starting soon" stream other than time, and there are lots of just-starting streams that I don't want to cut out with that.
I've been toying with adding a more fully featured search interface but it requires overhauling my storage layer which I just haven't had the time to sit down and dedicate a day to (especially with some tricky performance constraints and patterns that the system has) -- the search-by-category I have right now is ultra tacked-on and not super scalable.
I'll take the mounting number of issues requesting this into account but I can't promise a super timely resolution, unfortunately -- this is just a passion/side project and life's been pretty hectic lately. I'll keep you posted though!

I, along with some of my friends, have been using nobody.live for quite some time to get to interact with low-viewer streams and have met quite a few interesting people. However, one of the things that we've noticed is that most of the time while refreshing thumbnails, the vast majority of them are from a few of the most popular games (Fortnite, Warzone) or streams which are just starting up. Seeing as how we can see the game ID that the Twitch API provides when hovering over a stream thumbnail, it'd be very nice to be able to filter categories out, especially now that you've implemented filtering by category.
Not sure if Twitch also provides the info on how long a stream has been up, but in case they do it'd be nice to be able to filter out streams which are just starting up too, seeing as we've encountered quite a few "starting soon" streams which quickly populate with a lot of viewers.
Thanks for the great website and the work that you put in!
