feature request; flag messages

[Trebian1]

Hello, I would like to make a feature request.

I miss the ability to flag first messages after a selectable time, e.g. when chatters don't say anything for a long time but then join the chat again.

Thank you for editing. Best regards Trebian

Hallo, ich würde gern eine Feature-Anfrage stellen.

Ich vermisse wie Möglichkeit, erste Nachrichten nach einer wählbaren Zeit zu Flaggen. Z.B. wenn Chatter*innen eine Zeit lang nichts sagten, sich dann aber wieder in den Chat einbringen.

Danke für die Bearbeitung. Freundliche Grüße

So I have some WIP code for this implemented in a local version of the First Message Highlighter. Seemed like the best place to put it since it already highlights the very first message in the session.

If @akshualy would be okay with that I could make a PR for it (or just commit it directly) :)

You are awesome! 🤗 Thank you 👍

Small update on this: I changed my code a bit and now it doesn't work at all. I officially hate JavaScript and it's reference design.

Still, I wouldn't push anything to the addon if I akshualy isn't fine with it, so that gives me some more time 🤣

Nevermind, thanks to based Stendec in a DM I got functional code again. My brain's a mashed potato today after so much coding on other stuff haha

Likewise! Please report any issues you encounter with it - during my testing I didn't spot anything out of the ordinary, but that was just a test-case of 1. Now that it's out in the wild I assume there might be more 😁
