Goat Matrix chat now shows who is connected.
This is actually in preparation for hosting movie nights here. I got further along with it yesterday than I thought I would. It's 90% complete. It just hit 10pm yesterday when I got to the integration testing phase and it was a little late to start that. So when I restart that validating integration could go really well and everything just works or it could be an an integration slog. Either way we are between 80%-98% done.
I'd say it's 50:50 where we will be for movie night this Friday.
So how does it work exactly? Let's say I opened chat and left the tab open. Would my username be in list while tab is open and would it vanish on tab closing? Or?
Yep. That is correct. That's different from Saidit where the names accumulate until there is a reset. So it's more accurate who is here and who isn't. But someone having a tab open isn't a 100% guarantee. Also no resets clearing the chat.
I could make it a setting to not appear in chat for people who want anonymity. Let me know if that's something people want.
I don't care about hiding my username but in case that would be an option I think it's better to replace usernames with "Anonymous user" and not hide them entirely.
That's an interesting idea.
