Feature request: a "sticky"/persistent post webview mode for live-event apps
built an NHL scoreboard app (/r/GoalPostBot) that posts a live game-thread scoreboard — score, linescore, shots/PP, play-by-play. It works in the two webview states we have today: inline (sits in the post, scrolls away with the page) and expanded (takes over the viewport, hides the comments).
The use case I keep running into: during a live game, people would like to follow the scoreboard while chatting in the comments. That's the whole point of a game thread. But neither current mode supports it.... inline scrolls out of view as you read comments, and expanded covers the comment section entirely.
What I'd love: a way, in desktop mode, for a post webview to render in a sticky/pinned "companion" mode — staying visible (e.g. pinned to the top of the viewport) while the user scrolls and participates in the comment thread underneath it. Basically a persistent live widget alongside the conversation, rather than an either/or between "in the feed" and "full takeover."
I understand that position: fixed inside the webview only pins to the iframe, not the page, so this clearly needs platform support rather than something I can do in app code — hence the request.
Live-event apps in general would benefit (sports scores, election/results trackers, livestream companions, AMAs with a live status panel). Happy to be a test case if it's useful — the app's live now if anyone wants to see the constraint in action.
