Various improvements to the searcher

perronet commented 3 years ago

Here are the new features that I added:

Infinite refresh with adjustable delay
Multiplatform support: can run also on Windows
Windows 10 notifications
Easier Telegram setup
Handle connection errors
A new README with a small tutorial on how to use the tool (which probably will need to be adapted to this repo, since I wrote it for my fork)

In order make the script work on Windows I removed the bash code, and also the external tool telegram-send, which works only on Linux (and perhaps MacOS). Now, Telegram messages are sent through basic HTTP GET requests: this approach works regardless of the underlying OS. This means that there is no need for the package telegram_send anymore. Plus, the Telegram setup now is much easier and faster.

Cool, thanks!

Great! If you have time, just remove "The Fork" section from the README, since this is not a fork anymore. I would do this myself, but of course I have no permissions in this repo.
