Looking for something like this for twitch chat that either works on
windows or cygwin linux. Thanks.

Would a normal, every day client suffice? Many IRC clients such as
mIRC, HexChat, irssi and Weechat provide this functionality.

I'd prefer something that is very minimal and designed to run in the
background.

Then irssi or weechat will be your best bets. Both are very easy to
configure and can be run from behind screen/tmux.

Irssi for the win

I could make a python script for you. But I don't know how to read it
without creating a visible user on the channel.

EDIT: replied to wrong person.
