Live stream coding is hard. What time I've spent live streaming has been building a music visualizer, as what you said about needing animation for the viewers is key.
The only coding streamer I've ever been able to watch consistently was a game dev. His stream was especially neat as he built his stream UI to be a game. Viewers were ships and every so often a game with those ships would happen; sometimes with chat input sometimes machine controlled.
Overall, coding streams is very hard to watch as the viewer has to invest time to build up the mental model of what the streaming is building. Games make that a little easier as it's a bit clearer what the immediate outcome of the code change is.

Yeah it is very hard, it's even harder when you're trying to learn something, trying your damned best not to look like an idiot 🤣
Yeah, it's got to be interactive and visual in some way or another. Something I tried to do was create spaceships for subs and they would gain XP which multipled if they were currently watching the stream, I should have spent a little more time on this!
