5 years ago @RejectedGalaxy thanks for the feedback. Would you mind splitting up each request into its own issue? I'd prefer to track them separately. Also note that many of these are duplicates so please search prior to opening a new issue.
After losing rabb.it and using this a couple times I have multiple features I think would be a good addition to Metastream
Friends list A friends list would be nice to see if your friends are online and maybe there could be a status under their name saying what they're watching.
Quick Invite System This would go very well with the friends list. Next to each of your friends there could be a button that just says "Invite" and they get a notification to join your room.
Direct Messages Another feature that would go well with friends list. You can click on a user in your room to DM them, or go to your friends list to DM your friends.
Custom avatar support I'd like to think custom avatars are a pretty basic feature, it shows off your personality and how you express yourself.
Persistent rooms with custom URL Rather than having to make a new room with each use of Metastream, you can create a room with a custom named URL for example app.getmetastream.com/CoolKidsOnly and now any time you click that link it will take you to that exact room. People's names in the room will always be displayed and an indication whether they are offline, online but not in the room, as well as online and in the room.
Host Migration Rather than closing a room when the host leaves, just hand it off to someone else.
Server List When you click "Join Session" keep the URL section, but also add a public server list that way you don't need to open Discord or anything else to find a random room that seems like it's worth joining. The way I'd make the list is have a picture of whatever content they're watching, the room name, the hosts name, and the number of users in the room.
These are just some things I thought would make the experience better, and I may add more to the list if I think of anything else. Thanks for taking the time and reading my suggestions.
