graph messages per second over the last 4 minutes, left of – and filling whatever space is free; thin ticks mark 10s, thicker ones each minute; red segments mark glorp bursts; red bands mark socket loss under an open page; violet bands mark the page itself being closed or discarded (missed lines backfill on wake); a red band turns green once its missed lines backfill; grey bands mark stretches where chat went silent with no outage recorded

title stream title bar: - a strip under the header shows the live stream's title; its ✕ dismisses it until the title changes or the stream restarts^†

modes active chat modes: - the header narrates the focused channel's live modes: slow Ns (seconds between messages) · follow req Nm/Nh (must have followed that long to chat; bare 'follow req' means following is enough) · emote · subs · r9k (unique messages)^†

status status length: - how much the stream status line says beside the dot: the full run with times, the same minus the chat-modes tail, a compact cut, the bare word, or an empty space - chatter tally included; scrolling there cycles the same stops^†

Ⓢ sub badge: - the chip shows reported subscriber months; dim -- / [sub --] means no count was reported, not confirmed zero subscription^†

months gradient: - shades counted chips teal → violet → red as the count climbs to 84 months; a counted chip's tooltip restates the span - say 2yr, 10m^†

nick alignment - drops every nick's edge on one stop - the widest leading prefix in view (time, channel tag, chips, badges) sets it and each name pads up to it; left-edge aligns the names' starts, right-edge the ends so message text columns up after them^†

☺ emote-only rows: - messages of only emotes render them larger; cycles inline / pinned right like gif embeds / normal size^†

▮▮ layout click for menu or scroll to change layout. column layouts offer a new reading experience; chat in one column lingers until the other column(s) is filled, then older chat is grayed out while the new chat overwrites it1col

• one full-width chat column
• the help popup starting centred at two-thirds of the screen
• the stream docks in its frame over the chat column

2col

• two chat columns - a column fills top-to-bottom, then flips to the next^†; the rest of the family runs one
• emotes alone - the video floats the same way
• help docked beside one chat column
• video + emotes
• help docked under the video
• a vertical split with emotes under the stats and the chat under the video

3col

• a third chat column joins the cycle on a landscape screen
• a rail layout - two chat columns plus a side rail holding the stream, the emote picker and the stats page; the line between its emotes and stats drags to resize them, and the rail's left edge drags the chat columns narrower or wider
• emotes alone - the video stays off but the ▶ button floats it over the chat
• help docked beside two chat columns
• video + emotes in a slimmer rail on the same columns
• help under the video on the rail
• video over emotes over help on the rail

▶ stream video popup: - draggable, resizable, loads only when enabled^†

Twitch login: to send messages from the input bar or the ➤ button; ⇧click logs out · channel rules (slow mode, followers-only, emote-only) apply as normal - rejections arrive as [notice] rows, and slow mode counts down in the input · slash commands go through as twitch reads them (/me, /timeout, /announce, /raid…) · typing a character jumps into the input (it grows with long drafts; ↑/↓ there walks sent lines and parked drafts, kept across reloads), ↑/↓ select a row, r or enter replies to it, esc peels a layer - pick, then popups · @ opens a list of the joined channels and recently seen nicks that narrows as more is typed - tab/⇧tab walks the pick, →/enter or a click fills it in · :word or a 3+ letter word then tab completes emote codes the same way

⌕ find bar: ctrl+f (twice for the browser's own), / or the ⌕ button - bare words match row text, user:login the chatter, kind:notice|mod|gap|action|emote|mention|kw|deleted|sub the row type; enter/⇧enter step through matches, 'only' collapses non-matching rows, 'archive' searches the indexed local store that outlasts scrollback - a hit whose row was trimmed restores it (and its neighbours) into the log

archive retention: - bounded trims after 30 days or when origin use passes ~50MB, on the next load; unlimited removes both app limits, but browser storage quota still applies. Rows past the scrollback edge reload into the log from the "load earlier chat" seam at its top - scrolling to it pages more in on its own, and ⇧click loads eight pages at once - or by clicking a find hit, a reply chip, or a ?mid= link; restored rows carry the dimmed stale look and count toward the scrollback cap. A date (date:YYYY-MM-DD) in the find bar jumps straight to its moment. Where a restore leaves a stored stretch unrendered, a "skipped" marker counts it and fills on click. The paged column layouts hide stale rows but keep the seam - clicking it folds back to one scrolling column first. import back-fills the store from a log file.

– header size: full (all options) → reduced (options hidden, rate graph fills the bar, ? stays visible) → minimised strip with just –; ⇧click or scroll back retreats; click the strip to restore

↻ update notice: - the reload bar when a site update lands while the page is open, and how often the page checks for one; the bar's own 'update check' chips pick the same stops^†

◍ link favicons: - each chat link leads with the site's icon, fetched from duckduckgo's icon service with an icon.horse fallback, then a generic link glyph^†

✂ clean urls: - link text in chat drops the https://, a www. prefix and a trailing / or /index.htm; the target is unchanged^†

⧉ link previews: - hovering an external link, a nick or an @mention shows a card - title and description, where a shortened link really lands, and for twitch channels the live state, followers and chat modes; instagram reels get a playable video in the card (resolved through kkclip, controls on click); looked up through a Cloudflare worker, so the linked address leaves this page; the image and icon load from the linked site; not shown on touch screens^†

▶ video embeds: - a watch, shorts or youtu.be link gets a ▶ glyph and an info card under the message (thumbnail, title, channel, views and date via the linkpeek worker); an instagram reel/post link gets a card the same way (poster, title, caption); clicking the glyph or the thumbnail unfolds the player under the row (a second click folds it) - nothing loads from google or facebook until then^†

pn pronouns: - a fact line on the twitch-profile hover card for chatters who set pronouns on alejo.io; looked up when a profile is previewed and cached for a month^†
