Frist Post! I’m new to this but with the help of VSCode and Copilot I was able to whip this up today… Literally one of the reasons I bought this Vobot (to write custom apps for my pain points)…
This is a work in progress but it does actually work.
I run a proxmox node with a ntfy LXC. I have many of my other LXC monitors and such write to ntfy and I get the notifications on my web or phone of course, but having this little display right next to my keyboard gave me the idea to show them there too.
It has the /app web GUI to set up some things like the domain and (single) channel (using “general” by default). It polls (I use 10s but you can configure) and you can choose how many messages to retrieve (I do last 5). It color codes a bar on criticality (couldn’t get emoji to render other than a blank square
). If a new message arrives it will show “NEW” at the top and jump you to it (as the new 1st)…
Anyways, go easy on me, it’s a v0.0.3 and there are a lot of wonky things in writing this that were much harder than they should be (for one, it does NOT handle the ntfy streams so we had to get creative with how we pull messages)… BUT if nothing else, it should give you some good copilot prompt and instructions files to start your own app too… I literally didn’t write a single line of code, only told VSCode’s Github Chat what I wanted and we kept refining…
Obviously not an official app in the “store” yet so you are on your own to install this for now. I’m not trying to be tech support or answer too many questions. I don’t mean to be rude, I am just a novice as well and don’t have good answers for you. I think the markdown files should have enough for copilot to figure it out though.
* well, already hitting another frustration with this Vobot. I can only put two links in the message, so you’re also on your own to figure out the rest ![]()
