Co-coding users' cursors are not visible #76

Closed SableRaf closed 2 years ago

SableRaf commented 2 years ago

In co-coding mode, my coding partners' cursors appears briefly at the start of a session then disappear almost instantly and cannot be seen again.

OS: Windows 10 Browser: Chrome Version 100.0.4896.127

Ok nevermind I understand that this only appears when you hover on the person's name. Would be a nice feature to allow it to be permanent but that should be a feature request. I'll close this.

Hey @SableRaf – exactly, initially it was always visible, but I noticed when teaching with a group of 25+ students, it would lag a few students setups (prob based on older laptop, OS, browser)– so I decided to make it 'on demand' = just leave your cursor over the user list (no specific person, in general the whole list) and you'll see all of them (can keep coding away too). Moving the mouse away from there hides them if you notice a hit in performance (really only the case when having 20+). Perhaps rather than a setting/checkbox, I could make it so that if there's more than 4-5 people in the room, the cursors auto-toggle, otherwise they stay on, which would be useful for when jamming with just a few folks....

@SableRaf - PS, I'm nearly ready to share early access for my latest COCODING Classroom – which is specialized for teaching a group of students (whereas COCODING in P5LIVE is/will be more intended for jamming with just a few or a whole group).

Register here for early access.
