Notifications about bunqdesktop HOT 9 CLOSED

Small update on this topic.
We requested an "/events" endpoint to the Bunq dev team.
(Lets hope they will implement it 😄 )

from bunqdesktop.

Maybe you could create a helper application that calls the api for updates and if there is sone shows the user a notification. The helper could be started at system boot without having to start the BunqDesktop app itself.

@ntimo this could be one solution indeed.
Maybe we could do something like setting up a simple server which catches the notifications and transmits the events to the correct client via sockets. (Would be really easy with https://pusher.com)

But again, that kinda kills the idea of why we switched to a desktop application.

@DennisSnijder First I think the notification checking should be done local on the device because of the privacy. And also using a service like this would cost you money/the user. And that is not a perfekt solution in my eyes.

@Crecket suggestions on this topic? 😝

from bunqdesktop.

The most reasonable and secure solution would be to pull every 10-30 seconds (Perhaps make this configurable/opt-in?)

@Crecket yes, that would be great +1

I want to add that we already have a component I used to display default Chrome notifications found in src/react/Helpers/Notification.js. This should be able to show notifications even when the app is in the background

You can also create a system tray icon functionality to keep the app alive.
