Since Piggy
hasn't been online for 1.5 months and Maggiordomo
is offline for 2.5 days, I'll make my own notification service.
If the kids allow me today, that is.Results go here:
http://loyce.club/notifications/, you can use something like
Check4Change once I'm done. I can't automate PMs yet, and Telegram is also above my paygrade.
Post in this topic to subscribe!See my next post for the required format. This is likely to change later.
Don't create a second post to subscribe: Edit your post to make changes. It's okay to subscribe with your alt account too.
Instead of my usual, which is starting at topic for testing in Archival, I'll start one here. Feel free to join the testing and make suggestions.
Notifications are not case-sensitive ("loycev" works as well as "LoyceV").
Current plans:
I can set up something similar to
LoyceV's: Follow users on Bitcointalk.org (posts and/or topics), but so far that doesn't have a lot of users.
It's less easy to follow than PMs, but doesn't give PM-spam for active users and you could use a Browser plugin such as check4change for it to get notifications.

a blacklist

Once I have it working, it'll be easy to expand with keywords (say: "Bitcoin") and a blacklist (we all know who I'm talking about) of users to ignore.
Limitations- I scrape each topic title only once (it's not the post title). If the topic title changes, it won't change in the Notifications.
- Updates aren't realtime. Currently, there are
5 2 updates per hour. This may change in the future (depending on the required processing power). - Only notifications from the past 7 days are shown. Older notifications will be removed.
- If there's a "$" in your username, I'll remove it from your name before searching for matches (this is why).
WarningDon't quote someone else's preferences (the ones within code-tags) in this topic. I haven't excluded quotes yet, so you might accidentally "copy" and use someone else's preferences.
TODO:-add topic title-only upload updates if there are changes.-ascending or descending order-just links to posts, or full quotes: make this optional!-fix ignore list for users-add ignore options for topics (useful for statistical threads that give weekly notifications)-Add numbering-fix usernames with $ (coinlocket$)-add link to archived posts-Ignore usernames if they're part of a larger word (initScript > Initscri).-improve performance
-differentiate between quotes and @mentions
-custom aliases
-fix alignment (
example of the problem)
-add link on loyce.club homepage
-upload update only if there is a new notification, don't update just to remove old notifications
-
replace "Today" in quotes with the current date
