Tangram

Run in background as notifcation daemon.
I would love it if tangram could run (and even start on computer startup) in the background like Geary or Discord so I can still receive notifications without having the apps open.
So basically you'd like Tangram to remain open when closed but hide from the task switcher?
I don't have a use for this but if you or anyone is interested in giving this a try I'd be happy to provide some guidance.

I have pretty much no GTK experience, so I'm not sure how effectively I'd be able to do this.
Trial and error is a good approach to get started.
First step would be to manage to run Tangram from source.

any news (launch it at least minimized) @sonnyp ? the best can be in tray.
I ask too because, like me many people use tangram to replace the dev who use electron for their app and having one GTKwebview app to rules them all is better than 3 or 4 electron app.
Thanks ;)
note : i actually launch it at boot and minimize it manually, at least a way to start minimized can be very appreciated.
Please stop the noise – it's not helping. If this was implemented – it would be closed. That's what an issue tracker is for.
This is true for any issue on any repository.

will stop after this one but false often even owner have forgotten on some issue so asking is normal.
So the best way to implement this feature would be to enable a tray icon and background running right?

No it can be a gnome-extension too, there is many way to add this function
Tangram isnt only used on distros with GNOME DE.
i know it's just an exemple to show that tray icon isn't the only answer to the problem
Luckily the Linux world uses standards

you cannot push the "linux" standard, the dev who dev for GTK app, chosse if he want to follow the Gnome standard (witch exclude the tray icon) or if he want to follow the road of systray, it's only him/her who choose.
And?
Gtk is not gnome and you can just use the libappindicator. Also it uses this standard. The same is true for the Linux DE's. It will be supported in X11 and Wayland.

Again it's up to the dev to decide not you
Please stop spamming, your comments are the opposite of useful. (Useless). libappindicator is also usable in gnome.

Lol it's the one who spam about something who isn't in it's control (decide how to do it (witch ONLY THE DEV can decide)) who tell my i spam... you a quite funny one ....
Simply open the app on a separate workspace if you don't want it to clutter your list of windows. Simple as that, like any other app.
Note that because Tangram needs the website to be up and running to trigger notifications, they are no resources or performances improvements to be made by running it “in the background”.
If someone really wants to put time and effort into this – the way to go is
- request_background with the
XDP_BACKGROUND_FLAG_AUTOSTARTflag - persistent notification – at least for now
There will be some iterations needed to figure out the right UX.
