Research direction

Start by locating the existing frontend friend and game-view flows, then trace how the application exposes player or session status to determine where the proposed endpoint belongs. Done means a closed-by-default bottom-right friends overlay can show which friends are online and let the user check a selected friend's game, matching the referenced examples.

Description

not-approved

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'd like to see who is online among my (openfront) friends.

Describe the solution you'd like

Like Lichess, small overlay bottom right, closed by default. When opened, you can check this person's game.

Additional context

This will probably require an endpoint, but the frontend part should be straightforward
