Try my new thing: Push Notifications for Github

[Jeff Balogh]

Greetings and Salutations!

Here's a website to try out push notifications in Firefox:
https://github-notifications.herokuapp.com/

This app uses Github's web hook system to send push notifications when
someone commits to your repository.

I would love to hear feedback about UI issues or bugs that you run
into, and on things that could be improved. I'm working on a blog post
with details about what's going on, and I'll post about this site more
publicly once we shake out some bugs.

Fun fact: the add-on design comes from a community contributor:
http://habber.tumblr.com/post/19572771640/ive-been-working-with-jeff-balogh-at-mozilla.

Cheers,
jeff

Many thanks to potch, gkoberger, and ozten for trying out early
versions of the site.

I like the UX!

Just a nit-pick on the github implementation - it only watches *my*
repositories? I'm more interested in watching my org repositories so I
know when something has landed on a mozilla or tulsawebdevs repos. I'm
afraid I won't get many notifications about my own repos since no-one
else uses them. ;)

Same here, other than that, awesome stuff!

Is it intended that the toolbar icon always be orange? I keep thinking I have new notifications, since it seems like a highlight colour.

Nah I think it has both in the list. So let me change that nit-pick to:
Please don't just show the repo name but "mozilla/reponame", then it's
obvious :)

PS: Trying it out right now!

I also just noticed that the number can be out of sync between two
browser windows.

- Clicking on a notification does not decrement the count right away
- I'm not sure how it works right now (cause I'm only testing one domain) but it would cool to allow deleting all notifications for a domain.
- It's not working for me anymore but I guess we can debug that on IRC later.

Other than that, it's pretty sweet.

This was super easy to integrate. Congrats on getting Notifications so
far, so quickly!

I don't think it shows org repos. I have two Kitsunes (me, Erik) but no

Kuma, where I'm only on the team for the org.

+1 on adding the owner, though.

Also, so cool to see this come so far so fast!

Right now it's always orange. gkoberger suggested making it gray when
there's no notifications, but I haven't fixed that yet.

Those are both good ideas. On my todo list. Thanks!

Good idea.

That's part of the wireframes that I haven't implemented yet. There's
supposed to be a cog on the line for the domain name:

It should be dumping some info to the Error Console, but probably not enough.

Thanks!
