You got it; that’s pretty much it. Desktop and Android both have notification support natively; this is a way for self-hosters to get a notifications on iOS.
It’s probably less set up involved if users already are using Pushover (there have been a few requests for this already) - Pushover also allows you to customize which devices get notified. If you’re already in the ecosystem (as I have waded in), it gives an option for you to continue down that path.
On the downsides aside from in app purchases, this plugin isn’t going to be offered by any of DIscourse’s current hosting, so continued support here is really on my own time. You are also dependent on the discourse instance installing the plugin, whereas Hub can be used for any site, regardless of plugins.
DiscourseHub has separate concerns in addition to notifications - namely it allows you to aggregate activity of sites all in a single place. This plugin is just concerned with delivering notifications.
I built this mainly because I missed built in push notifications while moving to iOS, and had started using Pushover in other contexts (IRC, and long-running command line prompts), so it felt natural to start experimenting sending Discourse notifications to Pushover as well.
Is this still an active plugin? I have it installed, added the API key from Pushover, though I cannot see any place in /u/waffleslop/preferences/notifications to add a user key.
Ciao @featheredtoast, è possibile che un recente aggiornamento di discourse abbia rotto il plugin?
Pochi giorni dopo l’aggiornamento a 2.9.0.beta1, ho ricevuto questo messaggio da Pushover che diceva che il mio plugin discourse stava effettuando troppe richieste non valide alla loro API
Mi sarebbe piaciuto usarlo anche questo. Ma purtroppo posso confermare che al momento l’utilizzo di questo plugin causa un errore nella console ReferenceError: Ember is not defined
Secondo me vale ancora la pena pubblicare il tuo PR, e poi chiuderò il mio. Sembra che il tuo faccia un po’ più di pulizia e corregga anche una deprecazione lato server
