How would you check if user is on-line?

I need to show user’s status (online, idle, off-line), what would be the best way to implement such feature?

Is mizzao:user-status (https://github.com/mizzao/meteor-user-status) good way to do that?

Defintiely - mizzao:user-status works well. If you’re looking for something lighter weight (with less functionality), maybe check out tmeasday:presence.

Those have problems once the app needs to scale across multiple instances.

I’d suggest https://atmospherejs.com/konecty/user-presence
