[nodebb-plugin-pushbullet] Push Notifications for NodeBB

julian

@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

@julian Not sure if it was just a one off, but long topic titles expand over the "Dismiss" button in the top right of the desktop notification. And they definitely don't time out when left without dismissing or clicking on it.

julian

Not for me

Actually, 0 for 2... they dismiss for me after 5-10 seconds... perhaps update Chrome?

Edit: God, I love the new notifications... I can see the post text too.

a_5mith

@julian I'll uninstall and reinstall. Or move over to Linux.

EDIT: This is the windows desktop version of pushbullet.

julian

@a_5mith This windows client? Perhaps you can report it as a bug on their NodeBB forum.

Oh wait, they don't have one yet (tweet them at @pushbullet maybe)

a_5mith

@julian I don't use twitter. #missingout#worldcup2014#2manytags4twttr

I'll write them a letter.

julian

Maybe they accept carrier pigeon

julian

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

a_5mith

@julian Loovely, will have a play with the settings on the Desktop app,as I've just found the timeout bit. No carrier pigeons needed. (It was under Device Mirroring)

julian

Fixed a crash caused by the plugin

Thanks @a_5mith

a_5mith

@julian Knew I wasn't losing my mind.

No way of closing them. It only seems to do it on the mentions (possibly) Getting that pigeon back out again.

Giorgio Chiodi

@julian Hello, please send us details for getting the premium plugin on our local install

a_5mith

@Giorgio-Chiodi

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

@a_5mith Ok so I don't have to wait 0.5?

a_5mith

@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.

Giorgio Chiodi

@a_5mith What if I pay for the hosting, but run it locally?

a_5mith

@Giorgio-Chiodi I don't think they'd allow that.

julian

@Giorgio-Chiodi @a_5mith it is available immediately to users on our hosting platform. It will be released to all users when 0.5.0 ships
