@lain I mean my fork of Soapbox hazards a guess on if it should show a playing emoji or a pause emoji depending on if the time elapsed exceeded the length of the track since scrobbling, but it doesn’t stop displaying it even if the most recent one is from last year.
This is because, it’s a personal preference, I didn’t want them to just disappear just because they weren’t very recent. But I’m seeing that other people have an inverse preference. It’s not about how recent it is, it’s about if it’s current, if the user is playing the song right now or at least very recently.
Maybe we can find some reconciliation between these perspectives. For example, maybe the text can be very prominent, big, with colors that pop out at you when they’re currently listening to it, and then it becomes small, muted, when they aren’t. Think 16pt bold while playing, 8pt barely different from the background color when it was from last week.
This is of course just brainstorming
