We’re preparing a beta
After a while of being too busy to work on Notified, I was finally able to make some substantial progress on something I started and never finished.
The first feature you will see on the beta is that now, the notifications will carry the information they received and when the app is launched it will open with that information passed to it, that means that if you get an IM, your IM app will open in that conversation.
At first, that will happen only when you tap the notification, I’ll see if holding that information longer doesn’t cause any problems, and if it doesn’t, the information could be kept on the notifications list.
Another feature (you won’t see), it’s an under the hood improvement to the way the window is managed, this will help when adding live pull-down, which I’m working on (with help from Ryan Petrich, developer of Activator, since this requires some changes to Activator too).
I’m looking into adding some other features based on your feedback, too, and I’m also working with Daniel Zimmerman to get the mail notifications polished up and bug-free.
This beta will be held on MacThemes and I’ll announce via twitter when it’s available, so follow me. I still need to test a few things myself and improve the current plugins to handle the new notifications, but it shouldn’t take long.
