Three things would make this a killer app for me:
- Setting for minimum value for message to be shown at all
- Setting for minimum value to give alert
- 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).
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.
