Configurable and dynamic online status #127

^{Originally posted by **samtrek** September 4, 2023} How does nchat handle offline and online status to other normal whatsapp users? Seems my own nchat whatsapp is always online, which is a function that I dont desire, I have looked through the options to see if I can see an option to turn it off, I have not seen any, is there anyway not to show always online to other users?

I don't even know, but I believe the answer is — always online.

Yep, with a default nchat installation it always present user as online while nchat is running. I created this issue from a discussion (see #122) to add support for more flexibility, where one can turn off online status, or just have nchat show as online while terminal is active.
