BuddyPress.org

“Online now” would be a good feature to have.

There are 2 aspects to it:
1) @username is online now (on the username’s profile page, card etc)
2) Who’s online now filter for member directory.

There would ideally be 2 checks built into the function:
1) Has admin of community disabled this feature – not all communities may want or need it.
2) Has username turned this feature off in her profile? Some users may want to work stealthily even if admin has enabled this feature.

There is a ticket for it https://buddypress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5007
(I know the developers can see the ticket in Trac and there’s no need to duplicate a discussion here. But most BP users never visit Trac, so posting this here to see if there are multiple perspectives on this)
