Notification on starting an activity

Open lokesh-krishna opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

Notification daemons such as dunst offer scripting whenever a notification is triggered. It would be really handy if Timetagger put out a standard notification whenever an activity started. This could be used by users to trigger scripts that could maybe set DND (the use case that I personally have in mind) or even other things.

Could you please consider adding such a feature?

You mean sending web notifications? Will dunst pick these up, or is there anything special we'd need to do?

Web notifications! The kind shown for when it's time for a break. I'm presently manually enabling DND and using the break notification to disable it.

Thank you so much for considering this!

Ok, I think this can work. I would probably create a setting to enable notifications (opt-in). Other than that, it should not be too hard to add.
