Bot idea for Radar

[princehumphrey]

I think this is a great idea, it basically means making a very good product better.

So why are User/activity triggered notifications interesting to me as a radar user?
I love great UX (definitely includes notifications). I want to be told what has happened while away especially the threads that have set the house on fire a la Uber killing our local startups

I am a guy that loves simplicity, don’t know about others but I am quite comfortable with the notifications as it is.

We all love simplicity too but simplicity with excitement? Some users will find it interesting

@s3rv3r

Wouldn’t want annoying bots notifying me of every little thing that goes on here as i prefer to find out myself.

You can always turn notifications off in you profile settings. You can change the frequency of the notifications as well. Loads of applications currently have this as a feature.

Personally, I’m weary about solely building on anyone’s platform as it generally doesn’t end well. So if it’s going to be built as an app, it probably will need TC’s blessings (which can be removed at any point), so should be built as a ‘fun’ project.

I personally think that TechCabal needs an open API (if it is not too stressful). Was wondering if we could do some creative things with it, like mashups and bring a Web 3.0 style to it.

API is an interesting angle. it would be nice to see what else can be done with/on Radar. But for this notification feature, the TC guys can easily do this. They have (own) the data! I am sure they don’t need a public API for third-party app integration to sort out notifications
