Native app / Push notifications

  • I'd love to see some kind of native app for NodeBB forums on iOS. I only care about iOS, but I imagine an Android app would be useful too.

    An app like this as I imagine it would take an approach similar to that of the Slack app. In case you're not familiar, the Slack native apps involve signing into an individual Slack channel, and then having a way to switch between them. It doesn't try to manage multiple channels at once within the app, a channel always takes up the entire screen.

    I could imagine a NodeBB app that allowed users to sign into multiple forums, and switch between them. The main feature of this app that the web platform could not offer would be push notifications, whenever you receive a notification on the forum you receive a native notification on the device.

    This could be a pretty simple app, but I think providing some kind of native platform on mobile devices would be beneficial.

    @The-Penultimate-Defenestrator This exists through the nodebb-plugin-pushbullet plugin.

    I am using it on this site (community.nodebb.org) as well as the forum I administer.

    You get to it from your profile settings.

    @The-Penultimate-Defenestrator there is already an app for Android. It basically opens the forum in a webview.

    Actually it even features notification support over Parse, so only a plugin for NodeBB is missing.

  • Is this plugin working with node bb current version? v 10.1.2

    @faizanzahid That is a good question. I do not know, I have not upgraded my forum in quite a while. I am many revisions of NodeBB behind. 😮

    @julian said in counts for /flags and /post-queue: @murcs As the changes were contained in multiple commits, it may be easiest for you to wait for v1.16.2 (this Wednesday) oh!  great.  just three days to wait.  sounds fairly okay =;^)

    Sounds like you need a little isomorphic javascript in nodeBB. P.S., IMO the first-aid icon in the lower right corner of the compose window is confusing. I just clicked it and I still think it does something else.

    @psychobunny sounds good, I've finally got around to looking at theming, got a great (probably) idea for a theme.
