Feature Request: Companion/Buddy Customization
Current behavior:
The companion buddy (Siltquack, a duck) is hardcoded and cannot be changed or disabled.
Problem:
At $200/month, users should be able to personalize their experience. The current duck looks like the old Twitter logo, which feels cheap for a premium product.
Requested behavior:
Allow users to choose or customize their companion character via settings.json or a UI option.
Suggested implementation:
- Add a
companion.charactersetting in settings.json (e.g."companion": "dragon") - Offer preset characters (dragon, cat, robot, fox, etc.)
- Optionally allow custom emoji as companion icon
This is a small change that would significantly improve the user experience for paying customers. Thank you.
