Feature: "your turn" notifications #83

Open jhagen1908 opened 12 years ago

Notifications to users that it's their turn in a game.

Possible solutions:

  1. Use FB Requests. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/games/#turnbased Pros: (Probably) easy. Cons: Integrates the app more with Facebook, which the user base might not like.
  2. e-mail notifications. If we went this route we'd probably want to design a whole user profile extension where they could toggle a whole bunch of options I haven't even really thought about yet. We may want to do that anyway.

I like #2 personally. I tried to do #1 for the longest time, ended up with a button to notify everyone... They ended up being too spammy and we just ignored them.

Emails are def more flexible. Really easy to redirect one to a text message, for instance.
