[nodebb-plugin-pushbullet] Push Notifications for NodeBB
-
Guys, you blew up my phone
Some Thoughts
- As mentioned in another thread, there's the tendency to get lots of notifications at once, especially if you get upvoted, mentioned, and happen to watch the topic in question. gh#1375 addresses this, and will make it into v0.5.0
- The screenshots so far show the generic title "New Notification from {site title}", with the notification text as the body. This can be improved, so that relevant post content can actually be shown in the post itself, allowing you to decide in the notification drawer whether to dismiss or act on the push. Right now, it's impossible to tell (especially with a notification like "@baris has upvoted your post"... but which post?! )
-
Very cool
In theory you should be able to easily extend this to support other push services, right? (depending on how easy other push services are to implement, that is) -
@Schamper The main reason I only went ahead with this now is because other push services cost money. It is a business, after all. There's simply no incentive for me to create a plugin to talk to a third-party push messaging service when the forum owner would have to pay per push.
Pushbullet is free (for now, anyway), so I'm not one to turn down an opportunity
In the future they may monetise their service, and I imagine we'll adjust accordingly when that happens. Think "Askimet" for WordPress.In short, theoretically, yes, but you'd have to adapt the code to their own API, that's all
Edit: In hindsight, I should've launched a plugin weekend this weekend... I would've won ALL THE UPVOTES

Good point.

Are premium plugins allowed to enter though
-
Just for @a_5mith, the plugin has been updated so you can select which device to receive notifications to:
No easy way to select more than 1 device to send pushes to (e.g. send to chrome and my phone, but not to firefox), but perhaps in a future version
-
@julian Hello, please send us details for getting the premium plugin on our local install
-
upon release, it is available exclusively to members of our hosted community and select partners
If you have your hosting with nodebb, then you get it. It will then be uploaded to npm not long after that.
-
@Giorgio-Chiodi It will be available for users whom have hosting with NodeBB when 0.5 is released. It will then be released to everyone else after 0.5 has been out for a while. That's what I'm working out from the first post anyway.
I'll uninstall and reinstall. Or move over to Linux.
