Notifications #214

Open Baklap4 opened 8 years ago

Baklap4 commented 8 years ago

Wouldn't it be nice to add notifications when a certain pokemon appears? Could be done just like the "Trash Id's".

Look at the webhooks #162 . That is what they are for

Hmm i'd like to see browser notifications when you're at the map For all the maps out there that's a specific part and not just a webhook?

@Baklap4 let me quote the README

This is not a map. Yeah, map is included, but main goal of this app is to gather data and put it in the database for further analysis. There are several other projects (including aforementioned PokemonGo-Map) that do better job at being just a map.

I think your request would be weird since this project aims to map city sized areas. And why would you want notifications that you could not possibly reach in time cause they are too far away?

Sadly, this probably won't happen, as the devs have other goals

Oh great, another map?

Personally, I disagree. This is better as "just a map" than anything else i've tried too.

Edit: @Aiyubi beat me to it, lol.

Sadly that's true. Yet this is by far the best mapper i've seen out there. Yes its not as shiney as other maps. But the workers and how they operate do their job much better than other maps. For the time being this map didn't get me banned at all since this works with the an account set to 1 location moving maybe to a few locations (depending on how many accounts you have). This way you won't get banned for "GPS spoofing"

On the otherhand @Aiyubi is also right to say you can't get to the pokemon if too far away. Especially if you're mapping like the whole netherlands. This can be changed by looking to your location and see what worker is the closest. If there is a pokemon in range you'd like to get notifications from send the notification else just ignore it.

I use the webhook for this and getting notifications into group slack channel for 400 km² area. Very handy. Using this fork with PR #180
