How can I get notified when new reports are submitted?

[MrGibbage]

I see the RSS as one option, but sometimes I go a few days without checking my feeds. I would rather get an email. Is that possible with the current system?

No, it's not. You can't do much more than storing and querying data with a lone couchdb.

You'd have to put together some server-side app that checks the content of the db every X minutes and sends an email when new reports are found.

Or install an rss reader on your phone that would notify when new reports are received.

Got it. Thanks. I tried adding the rss url to my reader feed, and it says I wasn't authorized. Is there a special way to enter the url?

Also, is there a way of resetting or retrieving the admin user password? I seem to have forgotten mine. Same for my reporter password. (I thought I saved them in my password manager, but I guess I forgot to).

Just adding that an email notification feature should be part of the base system, it's probably something that everyone wants at some point. Nothing fancy, just a basic text email update sent over smtp.

It wouldn't be an option for the hosted couchdb setups that most people use. You could always use some rss2email type system to pull it off. A quick google search says http://www.allthingsrss.com/rss2email/getting-started-with-rss2email/ is a good one.

It also says I'm not authorized when I try to subscribe to the RSS. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Do I need to add my username and password there somehow?

I have the same issue.
