FCC Projects - build Twitch.tv viewer

[mbrien12]

• [x] Skeleton of page - layout
• [ ] I can see whether FCC is currently streaming on Twitch.tv
• [ ] I can click the status output and be sent directly to their channel
• [ ] If a Twitch user is currently streaming, I can see additional details about what they are streaming
• [ ] I will see a placeholder notification if a streamer has closed their account (or the account never existed) You can verify this works by adding brunofin and comster404 to your array of Twitch streamers.

Hints See an example call to Twitch.tv's JSONP API at http://forum.freecodecamp.com/t/use-the-twitchtv-json-api/19541.

The relevant documentation about this API call is here: https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/v5/reference/streams/#get-stream-by-user.

Here's an array of the Twitch.tv usernames of people who regularly stream: ["ESL_SC2", "OgamingSC2", "cretetion", "freecodecamp", "storbeck", "habathcx", "RobotCaleb", "noobs2ninjas"]

Due to a change in conditions on API usage explained here Twitch.tv now requires an API key, but we've built a workaround. Use https://wind-bow.gomix.me/twitch-api instead of twitch's API base URL (i.e. https://api.twitch.tv/kraken ) and you'll still be able to get account information, without needing to sign up for an API key.
