Not necessarily a suggestion but I'm working on finishing up my own site. I use Joomla for all the sites I create and I know it supports a lot of outside Auth sources so I didn't know if anyone knew of a good way to integrate Twitch logins with Joomla. I've been using Joomla for about 10 years and I have programming knowledge ontop of that so I can usually backwards engineer things pretty easily.

Twitch supports oauth authentication, which is pretty much the standard for most websites, Facebook, Twitter, Google, and many more. The forums here didn't have Twitch authentication built in, and nobody had a plugin for it. I took the oauth for Google and changed it to work for Twitch instead.
I would take a look at Twitch's API and then Google oauth, and go from there.
