RE: Introducing: Steem Messenger (Beta)

in #utopian-io6 years ago

Three things would make this a killer app for me:

  1. Setting for minimum value for message to be shown at all
  2. Setting for minimum value to give alert
  3. Protocol to make my settings publicly known (so app users know how much to get me to see the message, and how much to trigger a mobile alert).
Sort:  

1.) No problem.
2.) Alert? Do you mean Notifications like this?

Or do you actually mean a mobile alert? And how? SMS?

3.) No problem. But also similar question as above regarding mobile alert.

Oh, I didn't realize this was a desktop app, I figured it was a web app, I didn't read the full post. If it were a web app you could request permission from the browser to create alerts. You could also have a wrapper app on Android that could do alerts. However as a desktop app I'm not sure it could serve this purpose.

The App is written with electron-js (chromium). So alerts are available. But I think what you mean are desktop notifications.

I can implemented something like this: https://github.com/mikaelbr/node-notifier

(Of course without the input - but you get what I mean)

I meant browser/mobile alerts, the kinds you get with Telegram. Desktop alerts work too.

Not sure if folks want to pay 1 Steem for every 1000 messages sent

There's also SBD. It wouldn't be a chat messenger, it would be an attention request service.

So basically I have to pay 1 SBD to spam 1000 people, I'm sure that very useful to the mass Steemians who don't run services

I'm working on a FCM version for my wallet app, that may useful for your app too.
