Describe the Feature

By default 1 day, can be changed in settings

You could have it disappear as soon as they end stream. There should also be a pin feature where you can pin a channel which puts it at the top of the sidebar, even if they're offline. This way you can pin channels you mod for or your own channel for easy access.

On that note, maybe an area where you can see the channels you're a mod in, or like the moderator badge next to the name of the channel to indicate you're a moderator would likely be a good addition.

I was actually working on pinning a couple months ago, so I'll get back to that soon. I like the idea of having them disappear after they go offline. This should probably be a toggle though for the situations where connectivity issues arise on the streamer's end and possible go offline abruptly.

Yeah, I thought about that too. But maybe instead of a toggle the user should be able to choose a timeout where one of the options is "none" or something like that, which would mean that it would stay 'til the app is closed? Not sure.

My thoughts currently are:

• Allow some sort of expiration
  • 0 = current behavior, remove on close
  • -1(?) never
  • and then any nonzero number will be the amount of days it stays
• Toggle to remove on offline which would override the above
  • Probably buffer like 5 minutes to avoid sudden disconnects and have some sort of UI indicator the channel will be removed (e.g. Channel will be left in 1 minute)
