Push notifications are cool and all, but they are part of what makes social media so addicting. What if, instead of push notifications, you could get a daily or weekly email with your notifications? Might be a healthier way to interact than feeling like you always need to immediately check your phone to see what the latest alert was about.
Just released a new micro-app for bridging nostr to email: Anchor Alerts.
The goal is to create a notifications solution for nostr that doesn't require the user to install any additional apps or software, and which helps developers retain users by reminding them that they exist.
It uses coracle's custom feeds to fetch notes and build them into a digest. The anchor app is just a proof of concept — I'm going to release a new version of Flotilla which uses anchor as the backend for notifications.
If you want to add email notifications to your app, give anchor a try. You can even set up a custom handler to send users to your app instead of coracle.
That said, I wouldn't mind seeing this done in a more Nostr-native way.
KoalaSat (npub1v3t…yvjh) would it be possible to have a few options for when Pokey sends push notifications? 1. Real-time (current practice), 2. At a specific time each day. 3. On a specific day each week.
If so, I would love to be able to subscribe to notifications for community relays' calendar, chat, and threads events in Pokey, too. Or get really crazy and allow Pokey to subscribe to a custom feed... Then users could, say, create a custom feed that was based on a kind 30000 list, but only showed long-form notes, and Pokey could alert daily if any of those npubs had written an article.
