Notification for recipes' steps

[plasmid-zz]

Some steps last several minutes and some smart watches/bands react only to notifications to produce an alert. So, would it be possible to introduce an optionally selectable notification system for each single step, please? Thank you.

@plasmid-zz so you would want Cofi to post a notification every time new step begins, and when recipe ends? (And preferably to clear previous one) Am I getting this right?

That seems doable, but I'm afraid that would somewhat lock me with development of #64 Let me know if what I wrote above is your desired behavior and I'll think about how to handle cases like this.

And just to make sure. Your use case is that you start Cofi on a phone, lay it down, and want to get a vibration on a wrist when the step change? Isn't phone vibration/sound enough? You still need to look at the phone to make sure what the step is, so it seems redundant to be notified on two devices.

Not exactly when EACH new step begins, personally I need it after a long timer ends. Some steps are so close and short in time that no notification is necessary, so I proposed a selectable option for each step or a new type of step called, for example, "notify something". The reason is that I use to leave the phone in the kitchen and do something else during the longest steps and I generally don't have the habit of carrying my phone around when I'm at home, just because I have a smartband that react all the desired apps' notifications.

Ah, gotcha, makes sense. I'll try to think of something that will help you out
