Quick note on Notifications on phones and tablets.
-
mvertigo will send you an email when it believes there is something of interest you should be aware of.
-
You may have noticed that on desktop, you will be prompted to allow web notifications in your browser.
-
Chrome on Android should support web notifications out of the box, but be sure to check if you’ve permitted mvertigo notifications.
However:
On iOS (both on iPhone and iPadOS on iPads), web notifications are not implemented (grrr Apple)
There are two solutions:
- rely on the email notifications
- install the Discourse Hub app
- install it from here: Discourse Hub on the App Store (apple.com)
- add mvertigo by its web address
- if you use any other Discourse-based forums*, you can add them too!
The Discourse Hub app is especially useful on your phone.
You can also get Discourse Hub app for Android on Google Playstore:
DiscourseHub - Apps on Google Play
* Discourse forums may look a little different because of customisations and unique theming, but they often have a lot of layout, controls, functionality, behaviour, default pages and icons in common, so it is usually fairly obvious if a forum is based on Discourse.
