peer-status

What is peer-status and what is it for?

peer-status is a small reusable module for Holochain apps that shows whether a participant is online, offline or busy. It exists so an app can display that presence without building the feature itself.

peer-status is a small reusable module that adds an online, offline or busy indicator for people in a Holochain app. A Holochain app is built from a shared backend — a DNA — plus an interface, and peer-status ships both halves: a zome that goes into an app's DNA, and a package of web components for the front end. Its README describes it as designed to be included in other apps while assuming as little as possible about them.

For a developer, the point is not to reinvent presence. Rather than each app working out its own way to show who is reachable, peer-status offers one module that keeps each participant's status in the shared state of the DNA it is added to, alongside interface pieces that can be dropped into a page. The README records one deliberate limit: the status lives in the app that includes the module, and linking it to separate profiles or persona data was left as future work.

A concrete case: an app that includes the module can show, beside a participant's name, whether they are currently online or busy, and a participant can set that state themselves. To learn more, the repository README links to installation instructions, module documentation and a developer setup guide. hAppRadar records the repository's activity as stalled, with its last push in May 2024 and no published releases, so this should be read as a historical module rather than software known to be maintained now.
