Feature for subscribing to new results on various searches #348

Open bkis opened 1 year ago

bkis commented 1 year ago

I just want to propose a feature that would be very nice to have. I imagine it to work as follows:

  1. Search for something
  2. On the results page, have a little bell icon (or similar) to toggle notifications for this search
  3. Receive notifications whenever new results for this search are available
  4. Tap on the notification to directly jump to the updated results list
  5. Have a menu item for accessing a list of subscribed searches with the possibility to delete subscriptions
  6. Possible improvement: Rename subscriptions from the actual search query string to something more speaking

The polling interval for checking for new results wouldn't have to be very short. I guess some options along the lines of 15 Minutes, hourly or even daily would be enough (even using a sane fixed value would be okay I guess).

That would be awesome!

Just gone to this page to set a similar request, and see this here. Absolutely agree! But as it is open source may we have to build this by our own ;)

@MasterPlexus Sure, true. It's just that I have zero experience with Kotlin ;)
I just wanted to contribute this feature idea, maybe someone else will be up to the task and wants to pick it up.
