[FR] Implement Ripple functionality #4

Open CrimsonFork opened 5 years ago

CrimsonFork commented 5 years ago

I think it would be very useful if, additionally to the app's current functionality, it would also work as a panic trigger for other apps, like Ripple does.

Hello friend :) Yes that would definitely be a cool feature. But there is one thing I'm not sure about. Ripple does send out broadcasts but does it receive them too in order to carry out the trigger? I think that is a key success factor. Anyway I'll look into their code to find out.

Thanks for using my app :) PS: A quick question. How do you use / For what do you use my app?

Well, I haven't fully set it up yet, but it seems like a good idea to be able to notify my trusted contacts quickly if I'm in an emergency. Not that I have reasons to fear that, I'm just a normal student who barely even leaves his home besides for school and groceries, but it's always better to have too many security measures than too few.

Thank you for creating your app :D

Thank you ^^

I'll investigate the issue regarding the funtionality of Ripple.

Ripple is a PanicKit trigger app. It is just a "trigger" app, and other apps implement the responses. So if your app implements the PanicKit trigger side, then it can also trigger those responses. See the docs for how:
