Notifications not appearing in channels, and a Linux client

[James Nylen]

Hello all,

I finally got notify.io working with the Notify Pro app from the
Android Market, but I think the whole process is very unintuitive:

- Send some notifications from a source
- Grab the .ListenURL file from the Outlets page
- Finally, this is the part I couldn't figure out for a while: you
have to go to the Sources page, click Approve, *and change the output
channel*.

I think approved sources should broadcast to all channels by default,
or what you have to do there should be documented. However, I found
the Channel Inspector very helpful in testing my configuration (but
again, I didn't see any documentation that it existed - I stumbled
upon it by accident).

In other news, I picked up novas0x2a's Python code for listening to a
notify.io channel and sending notifications via libnotify, and updated
it and made it work again. Code is at http://github.com/nylen/tynio,
and a working Linux client is in docs/libnotify-example.py (provided
that you supply a valid Listen URL).

Thanks for the feedback! We were just talking about the signup process (and how bad it is). Glad to get another data point. 

Also thanks for contributing code. Hopefully we can get some other code contributions from you. :P

I guess my first post wasn't very appreciative... thank you for all your hard work on this very cool service.

I'm not a Python guru, and not at all familiar with Google App Engine, but is there anything in particular that you might like some help with?

Yes! Next month we're going to start discussing some of the major design decisions for this project and it would be great if you participated. (Same goes for anybody else). I'll keep you posted on this list.
