UNSOLVED Compliments via Telegram

janth

Hello

the idea of the telegram bot is great. I got another idea when I built my own mirror about 1.5 years ago and I still think pretty often about it.

Wouldn’t it be great to enable everyone living in the flat texting to the mirror? Things like “Please call me when you got home” (some people don’t check their phones ) or reminders like “Don’t forget to take your lunch box” or in case there’s a party in the flat being able to change the compliment text live… there are so many use cases. Maybe even keep older messages for a certain time and display the last three of them, and being able to remove them using telegram again.

Thanks for all the work you all put into this project!!

@janth
/alert blahblah could be something like you said.

@Sean But the alert disappears, right? Is there any way to send an alert that doesn’t disappear? Maybe I can do so using /notification and setting the timer high? Is there a method that does not block the entire screen? One line that stays on screen would be perfect.

Thank you so much! Love the update. Cheers.

Maybe I can make a simple message board module for that purpose…

TheOrigins

@Sean is that possible? Something that can just display notifications in a non-obtrusive way? Or does that already exist?

@TheOrigins
Maybe something like this?

TheOrigins

@Sean Honestly, this looks like the best thing ever

@TheOrigins
Updated now. Read the docs.

@Sean Looks super cool. Thank you so much! Appreciate it
