It will not be called lil-hex

Don't worry, lilbud is my name and mine alone (even though I didn't think of it)

if an iOS variant becomes available, I'll be happy to try it out.

What we need is some kind of API that can be used with IFTTT. Imagine: Blink the Hue lights if new notification (!)

lilbud

@robertybob I'd probably buy phillips hue bulbs if this was possible.

Actually, Push Notifications are probably the one reason I wanted to make a RetroPie app. Better than getting 50k emails.

App to view the RetroPie forum. Android only. I have enabled push notifications for this app.

Would like someone to test this on an actual android device, I can't cause I don't have a device at the moment.

why don't you use Android emulator to test this app?

lilbud

@whiteant It works on an Android Emulator, but apparently not on an actual device. Not sure why exactly.

I was just thinking I would appreciate an app, I'll test it out.

lilbud

@ladyslayer0160 According to those who tested it, it doesn't work for some reason.

Would you guys be interested in a read only app or you want the ability to write comments too?

For alpha version I was thinking a read only would be okay.

lilbud

@hex I'd say for an alpha version, read only would be fine.

@hex Let begin with it and I'm sure there will be great response later.
So r/o is great for early alpha stage ;) Thank you for getting into it.

Hex

I am juggling 3 projects J2ME, Feature PowerSaver and my work. This might take a while.

Feature PowerSaver

If i'm not mistaken, wasn't that already added to ES?

Hex

pjft added slider control which has an edge case that i need to work out. Else PS is very stable.
