*This is requested feature here and here
Im trying to add this feature with different ways that are currently available features on appwrite.
(This is a wild way, not exactly a realtime presence feature)
So i created a function which is triggering by the event of user actions such as session, database requests and so on. It means user is recently online when user creates any session, document or so on .. i can understand user is alive/online or i can update user lastSeen status. i can show the user is something like "Recently Online π’" for 5minutes then no action after 5m, i can show he was online "5min ago π΄" bla bla.

For example in the console dashboard, i can easily see that how many there are realtime connections or not.
Console is tracking active web sockets but i can not.
Is there any better way to handle with this situation ?

Another solution mentioned is to have a collection with user IDs as document IDs and an attribute with the latest connection date/time. This attribute gets updated every 1-2 minutes when the user is online, and if it doesn't get updated after that time, the user is considered offline. The user also mentions a current method they are using which involves triggering a function based on user actions, but acknowledges that it is
