implement notification

[sayanee]

1. if the event is within the next hour (as queried by this api endpoint), create a notification
2. if the repository was updated within the last hour hour (as queried by this api endpoint), create a notification

Apple push notification is handled by Apple’s backend… but you have to implement your own server to trigger push messages. You also have to maintain the list of phones for notifications.

If you don’t need customised push messages… then can just use Urban Airship. They can watch an RSS feed and just push new data as and when it gets updated.

Just build a Node or Ruby backend server. Host on Heroku. Client side code is really less. Most of the logic needs to be handled by backend.

And I suggest rolling out your own ... will give you more control. You can for example trigger custom notification for some major events in future.
