Demand for non-Telegram forum notifications?

[TryNinja]

Hi,

I'm the creator of the BitcoinTalk SuperNotifier. A Telegram bot that sends you notifications every time someone:
- Sends you a merit.
- Mentions your username on the forum
- Replies to your posts or quotes them.
- Replies to topics you want to follow.
- Creates a new thread in a board you want to track.
- Creates a new post (if you want to follow them).

etc...

I know that some people don't use Telegram, so this means my bot isn't usable by them.

Now the question: Is there is demand for those notifications outside Telegram?
Would you use a website, setup email or browser notifications, etc... for all the stuff I wrote above?

[irfan_pak10]

I love the telegram bot, but there is no harm in creating an extension or a simple popup notification app, where users wont have to open a website or new tab to see the notifications.


Edit

Why you wanna go for a website, it will cost you few $ for launching one, when you can do it free for the public, as it a free, unless you are thinking about charging monthly fees for it  btw charge 1$ monthly 

[_act_]

Be it telegram or a website, I will love both. But you Telegram notification bot is doing a good work. How will the website send notifications when not on the website? I think an app can only do that?

Why not a web API to be able to use it in different languages? I would like this more than other bots.

By the way excellent work

The BitcoinTalk SuperNotifier have actually been of great help for me, I do use telegram and it's ok for me to use your bot on telegram. I can't really answer for everyone but I think it will also be cool to have the notifier on browser.

The telegram notification is super cool to me; the notification comes faster, provided that my device is connected to the internet, and the bot is not being mute; neither is that if the telegram notification itself is muted.
 
For those who don't make use of Telegram, I think email notification will be better. Will the person be required to use their personal email to communicate with the bot, or will it be done in any way? I was just asking out of curiosity, although people can just create one email for the purpose of this.

and I think email will be more active than that of the website since they will receive the notification just like every other mail box, but for the website, how many seconds will it take to synchronise and send a new notification all the time, or will the browser need to be open in order for it to come in?
 
After the telegram, I will also vote for email; those who want to make use of it will know their best choice and what will serve them better.

I don't really use Telegram a lot and that's why I'm someone on this forum who isn't using your notification bot. But, if you can manage to allow us to use the bot on multiple options then surely. I would be among the ones who'll use your awesome bot. I think it would be much better if a bot like yours can be packaged into a chrome extension so anyone can use it even without Telegram.

[DYING_S0UL]

The telegram bots are actually useful. And when it comes to BitcoinTalk SuperNotifier bot nothing can beat it. Without any doubt it's the number one bot I used. Although something notifications may dalay (Due to network issue) but it is doing more then enough.

Apart from telegram bot, how do you propose an alternative solution? If you use a website, will it be able to give us push notification like telegram does. I don't have knowledge in that side so I don't know. And 2nd if you try extension, when the browser is closed how are we suppose to get notifications?

Maybe you should build your own open source app to run the bot. Off course, if you have the skills and knowledge for that.

I'm using it through telegram at this moment and I'm satisfied with it.

I know that some people don't use Telegram, so this means my bot isn't usable by them.

Maybe there can be a secondary notification option… Like push notifications through a browser extension. This can work on real time when someone is browsing. I totally support the idea because sometimes I take long to check my telegram messages because I barely use it for messaging every day.

Well, who should we meet/ talk to in order to get all these features on Bitcointalk.org without using a third party? Ok, let me talk another language, how much to have them on forum?😉

I think what we need is a dedicated notifications section for stuff like that in the forum directly. I've had lapses with replying to comments made under my posts/replies and that is mostly because there's no reliable way for me to receive notifications when people do so. I wish a feature like such could be made to make it easier for people within this forum, but at the same time the Supernotifier is a good enough alternative that I don't see any reason why we should have a dedicated website for it. If we could create a website that's specifically just for notifications, why not urge the bitcointalk devs to instead make the feature within the forum itself as with any other forum?

The OP already have one actually the ninjastic.space so it's one step closer to build something like the email notification settings. Also, browser extension/addons with pop up notification could be helpful too since there are people who uses extensions.

I am not too familiar with telegram that much, thus I did not bother to include the notification there because I am not active there. If we can have an extension, an extension for our browsers that simply notifies us when any of the above-mentioned activity appears in the forum, it will be a fantastic tool for people who are not on Telegram.

Your telegram bot works great and is on time when it comes to notification, if you're dedicated to discussion on the forum you have to subscribe to this telegram notification, but a browser notification will be great for many of us, I don't recommend email notification because it could mark the email spam if they keep sending thousands of notifications every minute.

[BlackBoss_]

If you can do extension like Bitcointalk Extension - All In One - Available on Chrome store - Version 2.5, some forum members will support it.

I think it is for non tech people only as if they are tech guru, they will like to use user script rather than extensions from third party builders and can not verify code in the extensions.

[Potato Chips]

I would use this!

Mainly because I don't have to bother with verification services that sometimes recycles numbers lol and/or the monthly subscription for phone number rentals lol.

I'm currently quite satisfied with your amazing Telegram SuperNotifier. Yes, I would love to receive my Bitcointalk notifications directly on Bitcointalk.org.

I mean, if you're asking for preferences, Yes I would prefer outside telegram notifications, but within the Bitcointalk.org website itself. For example, if there's a Chrome extension like this:



I would love to have it.

But I wouldn't want browser notifications outside of Bitcointalk.org. Notifications that pop up whether or not you're using a specific website can be quite annoying.

[joker_josue]

Taking a little from @shahzadafzal's idea and in order to avoid extensions, for those who don't like browser extensions, I would suggest the following:
Receive a PM on the forum once a day, with a list of all the notifications we have configured on Telegram.

For example, we configure that at 12 pm every day, we receive the PM with the list of notifications from the last 24 hours.

It didn't require extensions or install anything. And it could be configured directly on Telegram, or via a website created for this purpose.

[Yamane_Keto]

You can add an option in Ninjastic.space so that a person can receive notifications by email, which I think is more appropriate than creating a separate website. If there is time, is it possible for it to be in the form of a Chrome extension so that it is next to MY MESSAGES, where the person can access it as soon as he opens the browser and it should be closer to the current PM notifications.

[libert19]

There was another website bot before yours popped up. I have used both and I'd say, I find yours/telegram bots convenient than website one.

However, above that, I'd prefer something like this: https://www.talkimg.com/image/tfFfb
