Hello, walrusses!
This is my first news post, now being a news editor, so let's get rolling:
A while back this and last year, Cumred_Snektron and I were creating official real-time post notifiers.
Unfortunately many new users and even some of the die-hard walruses that have been with us since the beginning of
CodeWalr.us are still not aware of them.
So I would like to present you the two post notifiers today:
CodeWalr.us Post Notifier (works on Windows, Linux and Mac)
The PC notifier works well on Windows, Linux and Mac.
On Windows, it requires
.NET framework and
GTK-Sharp.
Linux and Mac need a full installation of
Mono and the respective GTK packages.
The notifier allows configuration of audio notifications, visual pop-ups, the design of the UI and allows ignoring posts based on parameters such as title and content.
Other useful features include a customizable update interval and gzip compression to save you bandwidth.
The Source code is available under the terms of the MIT License on
GitHub.
A discussion topic can be found
here.
You can download the ZIP archive with all the libraries from here: http://benedikts-workshop.de/dl/private/Projects/CodeWalriiNotify/Builds/CodeWalriiNotify_1_5.zipOn Linux you can run the following command-line in your terminal to install the notifier:
wget http://benedikts-workshop.de/dl/private/Projects/CodeWalriiNotify/install_on_linux.sh && chmod +x install_on_linux.sh && ./install_on_linux.sh && rm install_on_linux.shWalrifier (works on Android)
The Walrifier works on Android only (sorry iOS people!
) and displays notifications through the Android UI.
Cumred_Snektron kindly released the source code on
GitHub.
It's features include bandwidth saving and a configurable interval between checks.
