Thoughts on ability to "debounce" notifications #797

Open danlamanna opened 3 years ago

danlamanna commented 3 years ago

Is there an easily customizable way with skip_display, or has anyone generally had thoughts on how a feature around debouncing notifications would work? Some apps are particularly spammy (slack chat messages for instance), and it would be nice to only receive notifications occasionally for that app.

This is an interesting idea, however there is the issue of identifying the source of the notification. If the source is a browser-based app then dunst will only see Firefox/Chrome as the notification source (doesn't appear any of these web apps can/do set a custom appname) so it might group notifications from different apps together.

This will probably only be useful with dedicated message apps like the installed version of Slack.

can't this be done with rules? You match the appname or title with Slack and then hide the notification.
