App + New chat feature
TappedOut forum
Posted on June 19, 2015, 9:10 p.m. by ThisIsBullshit
I have no idea if this is in the works or not, but it would be awesome if there were notifications for chat messages as well as comments/new threads/whatever.
Just throwing it out there, and the app is working great for me, keep up the good work!
i'd need some suggestions because i think it could get real real spammy.
you do get a notification to your phone on invite

Yup, I do.
I'm not sure how to go about formatting it, because in terms of spam I doubt private messages would be worse than JC but who knows.

Private chats could definitely be worse than JC, because it's multiple conversations. Especially now that JC has gone fairly quiet.

i dunno maybe its not such a big deal. what are you thinking. if you get a message but you haven't read it on the site in like 20 minutes or so, send to phone? or are you thinking a tappedout facebook messenger?

If there was a way to only have the message trigger once, like they send you the first message and that gives you a notification, but none of the rest do until you've read it. But that sounds really hard to program/code.
Tappedout Facebook messenger sounds pretty cool but that also sounds like a buttload of work.

sending it once when you have an unread chat isn't hard at all. its already there really (the chat box lights up on the site). its just a matter of sending that to your phone.

But I guess the problem would be the line between spamming and recognizing that you're no longer online.

so if you're idle 20 minutes then start sending notifs again. or revoke them if you are online. there's lots of options. i want to get better at things like that.
i'm just trying to also satisfy the large group of people who complain on the google store that its too chatty.

that would be cool. As far as satisfying the people who think the app is too chatty, maybe there could be a way to choose which threads you get notifications for, so if you don't want to get notified every minute that somebody commented on JC, then you could check the "don't notify me" button or something, so you're not unsubscribed but just not notified.

yeah maybe i should stop sending app notifications if the content isn't "yours" (your wall / deck / chat / thread) and you can just check it on the site later

That would be sweet. Or again, if there was an option like "yes, send me notifications for content that isn't mine" that you could check if you don't care about spam. But it's all up to you so whatever works

I really like that idea. The reason to why I deleted the app was that I just got spammed by Just Chatting :)

Reinstall the app NorthernRaven i've made some changes i think you'll like ThisIsBullshit try it out for a few days and let me know if you feel like you're missing important stuff. i'm willing to bet it will all be way more delightful.
still haven't done the original request. :P

Now it keeps telling me I have one unread notification and it's you mentioning me here, but I have other notifications when I go to the website.

Well just like people have commented on stuff but the app doesn't send a notification.
Wait no I'm dumb never mind I get it now

Comment on this again and I can take a screenshot
June 21, 2015 2:11 p.m.
I like the app now. I also like the deck cycle feature :)
June 21, 2015 2:12 p.m.
When you comment, yeaGO, it says that you mentioned me.... Which you didn't...
June 21, 2015 3:27 p.m.
I didn't get a notification now! It seems to work! Nice! :)
June 21, 2015 3:41 p.m.
lol, i didn't get one either! that's a problem I'm subscribed to this thing.
June 21, 2015 3:44 p.m.
lol i just got a notification for your comment in the form of NorthernRaven mentioned me to my phone. but its ok in my notifications.
June 21, 2015 4:11 p.m.
Exactly yeago. I just got a notification with "yeago mentioned you"....
June 21, 2015 4:17 p.m.
Now it just said "two unread notifications" (I got another notification too). It didn't say, that someone was mentioning me, even though the other notification actually did mention me. Hmm.... I'll take a screenshot next time :)
June 21, 2015 4:24 p.m.
are you talking app notifications or site notifications or both
June 21, 2015 4:25 p.m.
Phone notification. It all works on the site, but the notifications on phone is strange....
June 21, 2015 4:32 p.m.
