not quite sure, just an idea that sparked and came across my mind, so i thought i would open up an 'issue' here. it could be anything from a dot like what is shows on tabs that are open in Chatterino when a channel is live, or it could be a red dot (to the left of the text) then a red text indicator saying LIVE and for OFFLINE just be basically the same thing like have a grey dot (to the left of the text) and then say OFFLINE in a grey text. just my thoughts right now...

3 years ago Would it not make sense to just outline the user's profile picture with a colour (maybe the channel's custom colour if that's doable) since clicking the profile picture takes you to the Twitch channel anyways?
A badly designed example:
EDIT: also would be nice to show a tooltip to the right of the image (statically positioned) which says 'live'

Live for <uptime> instead of just stating that the user is live

3 years ago I have a really stupid question, but why? I don't see why you need to see if a random person in chat is live or not pressing his usercard.

3 years ago I can agree here, I think it's a very niche thing to be present in usercard and we don't want to add unnecessary clutter. However, this is just my personal opinion.
Worth noting that twitch also doesn't tell you whether a user is live or not in their usercard.

- Red circle next to the user's username
- Under the ID, but say something like
Live for <uptime>instead of just stating that the user is live
i like the uptime idea

true, but i do feel like it would be a nice feature to have added to chatterino

3 years ago Why should it be added?
I believe this should be added so that users of Chatterino can know whether someone is live or not by just clicking on their username or whatnot to bring up the person's usercard and see some type of LIVE or OFFLINE indicator there.
This does not answer the question it's just the idea written differently. I still don't understand the purpose of doing an api call for this.

What I assume @apa420 wanted clarification on is why should this functionality be added, i.e. what is the use case?
To reword that question, what is the purpose of spending another API call on seeing if a user is live or not from the context of opening their usercard? I'm not sure if I see the point of knowing if they're live either.

some community members like to support each others' streams and if you don’t know they're live, you can’t support their stream by lurking and whatnot. it's helpful because you can then easily tell while they're lurking in the first stream where everyone is, to be able to know just by clicking on their name if they're live or not instead of having to open up a whole new tab in chatterino for it. sorry if this didn't make a lot of sense, it's late at night and i’m a bit tired from the day...

Can this usecase be covered by using the /live tab?
What should be added?
A LIVE or OFFLINE indicator should be shown (respectively) in a user's usercard to allow Chatterino users to easily identify whether or not the person is LIVE or OFFLINE. If you need more clarification on this, let me know in the comments.
