Just a thought: Notification when new content is published

[alexnm]

I was thinking that we publish a lot of videos and this will be ongoing, but how can we notify the users that we did that? Does it make sense? What would work best and not be spamish? I'm thinking it can attract more people to the website. I guess it's an open discussion.

Sounds good to me, we could implement that either by email subscription or push, i like the push way better. instead of implementing own our own we could use service like onesignal [free] or pushcrew [paid / has lmits]. Even implementing push own our own ain' going to be hard either.

Well, I have notification off on my browser. I would appreciate a transient "fresh content" section or category though.

[sudovijay]

@pksjce Well, push notifications are great for engagement at-least for webmasters, not everyone turns them off just like ad blocker (sometime you gotta think about others too lol JK ) but yeah having a "fresh content" section is a cool idea too but for that they have to visit site at regular intervals even when no new content is posted.

[alexnm]

I also like the idea of "fresh content", like videos published in the last 7 days or so

I was thinking about creating a twitter account that would tweet new videos as we post them and we do have an RSS feed because it's 2004

But the fresh content one is a really simple one to do :)

we do have an RSS feed because it's 2004

Awesome gurl 🙂 is this with that server less thing? lol , i actually never left server 🙂

[SaraVieira]

So that was a failed experiment, it's deployed under bot.awesometalks.party

The code is here: https://github.com/SaraVieira/awesome-talks/tree/master/bot

so this gonna work like hook right? i mean it get called anytime you publish some video and will post the latest one?

look clean 🙂

[SaraVieira]

work like hook ? Work Life balance ? Let's not even start ahah

When you update a video from unppublished to published it will trigger that and post all the info on twitter :D

This is one of those things that I assumed would be waaaaay more complicated

[sudovijay]

Well, thats more like hook than 😆 using such words just so i sound more experience dev, which im not . just like the Render Props thing lol , yeah!! im a subscriber of the react podcasts 🙂

[SaraVieira]
