Oddbean new post about login | logout Running Pokey Let's see if it's better than the oxchat push notifications.
What is pokey?
Push notifications, and apparently a Vitor essential. https://i.nostr.build/dz5nmoOi7U80vzUY.jpg
It's a new notification app for Nostr by nostr:nprofile1qqsxg45ph8gx0vdrvtzta6xal7v86frx6jvstsnvhrlvtehmwwh4epqpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9ehx7um5wghxyctwvshsz9mhwden5te0wfjkccte9cc8scmgv96zucm0d5hspv33ka. It runs as a persistent service and attaches to your inbound relays. As soon as a qualifying event hits your relays, it triggers a notification that you can then click on and go straight to it in your client. It's still alpha software, but it's been really great so far.
Pokey is amazing IMO
It's a nice life. nostr:nevent1qqsfsn7vxn25289zskhszfx3yzm8jw552jfpd55wfpy50m476kmjhaqpzemhxue69uhkummnw3ex2mrfw3jhxtn0wfnj7q3qxr8tvnnnr9aqt9vv30vj4vreeq2mk38mlwe7khvhvmzjqlcghh6sxpqqqqqqz3zgv3u
I don't know how to compare the two. They both reliably deliver notifications. But I think Pokey's mechanism is more elegant and functionally sound as it hooks directly to your relays and generates notifications the instant a new qualifying event hits. It's very fast, and in my experience so far, very reliable.
I just received 4 notifications on pokey, 0 on oxchat. Pokey isn't missing any.
Pokey is working great for me. 0x I will get some DM notifications but that's it. Pokey seems to get all the events pretty well
