Notify users when update is available
okdistribute opened this issue · comments
This is helpful for breaking protocol changes + future command support! Better to get it in earlier than later. I think it's relatively straightforward to use.
Brainstorming integration UX:
- showing a
npm
-style notification box once someone quits the app (I personally really dislike these) - showing a message in the
!status
channel on cli init, or if the cli periodically checks for updates - show a short notification message somewhere on the top bars
This approach will only work for npm installs, since installs from e.g. a package manager that didn't come from npm may not be in sync with our release cycles. It would be rad if we had an /upgrade
command that could update in place, not unlike running youtube-dl -U
.
