opened this issue · comments

It would be nice to have the ability to get notifications from cabals/channels/mentions/etc if yous so choose. A sound and pop-up for when you're on another workplace, or if you're awaiting someone to get back to you etc.

Keep up the good work!

nick found this that we could use https://github.com/mikaelbr/node-notifier, i'd implement it as such that it would be off by default. would have to think about managing settings too (but i guess that would be part of the config? we'll seee)

thanks @M160!

The way I've seen other command line programs do system notifications is by emitting a BEEP ANSI escape sequence. Most terminal emulators will turn this into some kind of visual cue on the window itself.

Yes please implement this :) Something equivalent to tput bel when there is a new unread message... Having the option to enable notification for certain channels only would be nice too.
