A kind of "Picture in Picture" while i'm in a game. #285

Normally I exit the app and leave it in a floating window while I see other apps or social networks waiting for my opponent to move his piece.

I don't know if it's possible to add the feature to open a kind of window like the Picture in Picture mode and see or even be able to play from that native floating window of the application.

Like in this draw that i made, just see the board, no showing extra information.

This was discussed in #220 and was decided that there was no use case for pip mode.

We disabled it to avoid the aspect ratio issue.

Showing only the board to play is a feature request that makes sense. There are some flutter plugins to handle pip mode so it could be done in theory. That is just a low priority and we must consider the maintenance cost of adding such a feature.
