+ Have given the user the POWER to disable notifications.
+ Followers are now immediately synced to session owner on joining, and when the owner pauses, plays or seeks.
+ Improved UX of the peeking sidebar on the right edge of the window. Now when you hover over the right edge of the window the sidebar peeks then hides (vs some part of it lingering while you hover and potentially obstructing the Netflix UI). You can still activate the sidebar by clicking near the edge after the sidebar has peeked and hid.

30 June 2020, Version 1.2.0:
+ Users can now specify and edit their own names

+ Session info is displayed as the first message in Chat
16 May 2020, Version 1.1.3:
+ Dark mode has arrived. You can toggle between light and dark, whatever works for you :)
+ Improved syncing using server time and takes into account buffering when seeking

+ Notifications have arrived. You can now sit back and get messages from your friends and family without opening the sidebar

Updated sidebar colour scheme for a more comfortable viewing experience. Updated and reorganised icons.
8 May 2020, Version 1.1.0:

Chat and emojis introduced. Number of users in the session are now shown.
2 May 2020, Version 0.1.0:
General layout of the tooltip updated to increase user-friendliness.
29 Apr 2020, Version 0.0.1:
