IsOnline is coming out soon. But I think they should add it so support

I support Spud!

Online indicator on users' profiles?
Support.

No support. Works better as an outside-of-Scratch thing people can opt-in to if they want.

Here is the project for that.

Have we already said why it was removed? Because I think I know. I can't find the actual quote, so I'm paraphrasing…

I think it was Paddle2See who said that, correct me if I'm wrong though. For that reason, it would be nice but no support

ison.ga

use this instead

Support, if you have the option to switch it on and off.

MistickMage

Support, If optional

Support. I've really wondered why there isn't an indicator.

Full support,

But there IS an alternative to this: Making a makeshift online indicator in your About Me or What I Am Working On section of your profile, turn it on when you get on, turn it off when you are about to get off

OR get isonline

Support!

But isOnline is the workaround to this

It requires the viewer of the profile to have it, and the owner of the profile to have it

Lifeoftheparty29

Support.

Support but there’s isOnline

VideoGamerCanInvent

Support. Not every user has IsOnline. If it was a part of Scratch every user wouldn't have to download a extension.

I know this is really old, but support

walkcycle

The project i posted a link to before got un-shared. Try this instead.

Not everyone would like to get an extension…
It would still be nice if Scratch added it normally.

I'd like to bump this topic, as I think it deserves more attention.

An online indicator would be neat, but it should be disabled at first, and it could be enabled and re-disabled at any time.

isOnline is an obvious workaround to this, but many people likely don't trust isOnline as much as Scratch.
