Pretty wild that the author didn't set up app notifications. Getting specific notifications from specific people on my wrist is a big part of the reason I use a smartwatch. But to each their own.
It'd be pretty cool to get a significant use case of my pricey pricey Garmin for ~CAD$40.
I'm the author. I've now set up notifications on the advice of just about everyone. It's pretty cool!
Nice!
I enjoyed reading your blog. It's been a while since I looked at an honest to goodness enthusiast blog. Thanks for writing it!
You like breakfast? Anywhere near Massachusetts?
I've been working on a super simple blog about breakfast in all 351 cities/towns. I'm at 133.
Can throw a link if you wanna look.
I'm nowhere near Massachusetts but I am a huge fan of breakfast food so I applaud your efforts.
Mmmm.... eggs bene 😁
What do you mean, specific notifications? Like an allowlist or something? Where, in android, the companion app or GB?
I'm genuinely confused.
Yeah. GadgetBridge allows me to set up an allow-list / block-list for notifications. So I can get SMS on my wrist but ignore social media pings.
Sure, but the allow/block list in GB is for app level notifications, where does "from specific people" (indicating a sender filter) come in?
On Android you can designate certain notifications to be high priority.
Or, in GB, on the notifications app list you can click the cog next to an app and use those filters. I haven't played much with it yet though.
