= improve the communications situation =
== use cases ==
The most critical use cases are in my opinion:
=== tickets are availible for sale ===
time critical informations before the event
=== food is ready ===
time critical informations on the event
=== how do we improve the Sinclair C5 ===
not time critical discussions
== possible solutions ==
In both cases time for communication is critical. I have been considering
* improve the use of existing and already used tools
* agree on one chat tool that everyone uses
* build an app for android and iphone to push info on people's phones
* push text messages
* your idea here....?
=== mobile app ===
* needs to be availible for android and ios
* just a mobile app with MQTT that connects to a MQTT server and subscribes to the relay. the relay can send messages out to every subscriber, the app will show them as push notification
* would be nice if the app app is availible in the app stores.
* the app should be less than 10mb in size (that way people will not remove it to regain space)
* the app should be as simple as possible (autostart on reboot of the phone, just shows a screen with recent messages)
* The app could be a Web-App as well, that way we would have all logic on the server and the app really just pushes the notifications and is a quick-link to recent messages.
==== ntfy ====
Hey, i guess what you're searching is https://ntfy.sh.
* its sends and receives notifcations via websocket.
* they've an app for android, ios and web, all can send and receive notifications
* different topics, markdown formatting, attachments
* you can set different alert priorities, the highest one beeps even in do-not-disturb and the lowest sends only a little notification
* i'm using it for my personal prometheus alerts and i can say it's really reliable
* Apache 2.0 and GPLv2 licensed and is really simple to self-host
if you have questions, feel free to reach out to me: https://matrix.to/#/@fossdd:matrix.org
=== use a chat solution ===
* There are a lot of chat solution that can be scripted
* Don't invent the wheel again
* Probably use a notify group in jabber matrix .... that is splittend from normal channels for better filtering an notification
