Hi, here's what happened. I lost the email from my Heroku account a long time ago, and recently Heroku was forcing people to change their passwords, so my Heroku account is lost forever and the app was shutdown. I thought barely anyone used my app (I didn't check the database in a long time, and it was always low), so I didn't bother solving this problem and myself switched to telegram notifications.

But if there's demand for my browser-based notifications, I could try to relaunch the app. And if someone is interested in running it instead of me, I could provide the source code.

Thank you for taking the time to explain Smiley I am sorry to hear it, I would want to run it, but I don't know anything about coding.

I would love to support something like this actually because I use almost 100% my browser (all settings saved to Google) and Windows notifications for everything to stay separate from my phone as much as possible. I used your app ever since I found it, it's perfect way for me to keep track of forum response.

I am willing to help pay for costs of this app, to keep it around for anyone who wants to use it. It's wonderful Smiley If the cost is not much I will pay it all Smiley What do you say?

Concerning the crypto TG you could just mute them and put them in your archive at least that will prevent any notification from them. Or you could also change your privacy settings so as to prevent people who are not in your contact from adding you to TG groups and channels, that will also be of little help.

Thank you. My personal situation is something complicated, to the point I do not use any sort of messaging for my private number except SMS and another app which thankfully for now no crypto groups use. It really got to a terrible point, it was not enough to ban and mute! And I do need my number to be free to call which was the point of Telegram. Browser notification in my tray is very important way for me to manage work Smiley

Hi sorry if posted in wrong thread but it seems this heroku has stopped working for some time now.

I don't use Telegram anymore, due to my own stupid mistake of polluting my private number with crypto TG in the ICO years, so I only used browser notifications that I can check at the end of work day.

Is there an alternative?

The one that I use to receive notifications whenever I'm been mentioned, receive merits, when my post has been deleted etc. Is still a telegram bot.
You can check it out here https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/telegram-yet-another-bitcointalk-notification-bot-merits-mentions-topics-5248878 it's still operational.
I don't know if there are other means to get notified but if there's any I would also be interested in it.

As promised earlier, I developed a telegram bot with the same functionality as the main app - quote and merit notifications with the same rules and limitations.

You can access the bot here - http://t.me/bct_quote_notifier_bot

Use /sub to subscribe to a bitcointalk username, and /unsub to unsubscribe. Use /names to check your current subscriptions.

If you use telegram as a messaging program to keep in touch with friends, you can consider using my telegram bot for:
* notify merits received
* notify on quote or mention

Is merit notifications working fine! Cause I am not receiving it for like past two days.

I just tested merit notification and it works, I also received some yesterday and I checked my logs and see that notifications about your merit were successfully sent. The next time you will send merit to someone, could you please for a moment subscribe to that name and see if you'll receive a notification? Could be some problem with frontend, or with the browser.

Not sure, I am getting notifications for quotes just fine, so (guess browser is ok), just not about merits. Anyway, not big deal, just thought it'd better idea to let you know.

Next feature - subscribing and receiving notifications via Telegram!

giammangiato's telegram bot already does that, is there really need for that?

I have deployed a new update just now which comes with new major feature - merit notifications! If you are subscribed to quote notifications, you will also start receiving notifications when you are merited. The notification tells you how much merit you have received, from whom and in which thread, and as usual, when you click on notification it will open the thread. If you are already using this service, you should probably visit the site to receive the latest update.

Also, I have made an improvement that should help with the expiration problem on some browsers.

Next feature - subscribing and receiving notifications via Telegram!

If you have time, could you work on notification for replies to user topics?

There's a forum function for that.

You mean email notifications?

Besides, this service has very little users, so I don't think I'm going to be adding new features anytime soon.

Fair enough. I appreciate you for making it thus far, it's helpful.

There's a forum function for that, so I doubt that many users will be interested in it. Besides, this service has very little users, so I don't think I'm going to be adding new features anytime soon.

It does not seem to work with nested quotes (for example, https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.52765744).

Please correct if wrong.

Yeah, this is intentionally, because why would anyone want to be notified when someone quotes a quote of your post? It's a reply to some other user, so it doesn't concern you directly. If I allowed it, you'd be bombarded with these nested quotes, as many people here just hit "reply" without bothering to clean up the quotes a bit.

I have deployed a patch that should fix the problem with expired subscriptions, all current users might want to visit the site so that a new version of service worker can get installed. Hopefully it will solve this problem.

Also, thanks to LoyceV's suggestion in another thread, I came up with idea of implementing merit notifications - you will get a similar message whenever someone merits your post, with a link to the merited post on click. Stay tuned.

Thanks, I deleted and re-enabled site notifications, it works fine now.

Wondering if this includes notifications for replies to your threads?

Regarding merited post notifications, I personally don't care much as you will see it on your profile anyway.

@op do you have any updates planned or have you abandoned this?

Also, why am I getting this error these days: "Error: Registration failed - permission denied"

This wasn't the case before.



I'm currently testing a fix for this unsubscription problem, but as for "permission denied', I don't even know, cause I never encountered this error on any of my browsers. That error means that you should manually give permission to show notifications to this site in your browser. Like I said previously, push technology is still experimental, so it's expected that it won't work perfectly in all browsers.

I also plann to add a new feature after I will fix this problem, so I'm definitely not abandoning this project, I just don't have much free time currently.

I get that, what I mean is, you enter the username >> site will fetch recent quotes to particular user and show it as a list (and not as notifications, or have both) — this will still remove the manual labor.
I can add this to Viewing unedited posts and deleted posts if there are more people who want to see it. It'll be one big and forever growing page that shows all posts that mention or quote your username. The easiest implementation would include deeper quotes too (that makes searching the post for a certain phrase very easy).
If I do this, all you need to do is manually check that page, or set up something like Check4Change to do it for you.

I find this hard to understand.
