I would love to see SIMKL introduce a more social “watch activity” system for movies, TV episodes, and anime episodes.

Right now, we can already see friend ratings, but it would be amazing if SIMKL expanded this into real-time and recent viewing activity.

1. Show who is currently watching

For a movie, TV episode, or anime episode, display:

• Which users are currently watching it
• How many people are currently watching
• How many of your friends (followers/following) are currently watching

Example:

• “63 people watching”
• “5 of your friends are watching now”

This would make SIMKL feel much more alive and social.

2. Show recent watch activity

Add a section like:

• “Recently watched by friends”
• “Friends who watched this in the last 24h / 7d / 30d”

This would help users discover trending content among their own social circle instead of only relying on global popularity.

Example:

• “Andrew watched this yesterday”
• “3 friends finished this episode this week”

3. Improve the Friend Ratings panel

The current friend ratings section is nice, but it could become much more useful with extra controls.

Suggested improvements:

Add a limit selector
- Show 5 / 10 / 20 friends

Sort ratings by:
- Most recently watched
- Highest rating
- Closest friends
- Most active users

Show:
- Last watched date
- Rewatch count
- Watching status
-- Watching
-- Completed
--- Rewatching

Add hover tooltip or quick profile preview

Example:

• “Rated 9 • Watched 2 days ago”
