Hello, I wanted to suggest that links to Showdown/Smogon social media get added somewhere on the Showdown client. I made a mockup of some places you could put it:
You could put it anywhere though, like on the "select a chatroom" under the current online user and battle count, it doesn't really matter. On top of promoting Showdown/Smogon's other platforms, one major benefit would be if the Twitch icon could have a "LIVE" indicator whenever there is a SmogCast happening on twitch.tv/SmogonU. It would make it a lot easier to get people watching streams that are happening at somewhat irregular times if something like this was on the main showdown page.
(Forgive me I'm not a graphic designer)
Either that or like, a pulsing red dot in the top right of the twitch icon or something. I don't know if that's possible but I've seen stuff like that on some sites when you have a notification, so I'm guessing it is.
I want to keep the suggestion brief, so that's all, thank you.
