@ljvb_4 Like notifications for the site in general, and/or also blocks for projects to give notifications? Both would be pretty cool ig

I believe they mean the playground.
Nice idea. I absolutely think this can be a nice feature.
I’m assuming it’s gonna be a low-priority standpoint.Forums Moderator.

For projects:
Adding notification sending blocks would definitely below prioritydenied because it wouldnt be used by many people (in CC’s eyes), easily abusable (spam somebody with notifications using a forever block), but also hard to implement because projects always run on the client so when the computer is sleeping, tab is closed, or never was opened in the first place, notifications can’t be sent anyways. It would also make no sense to send a notification to the user when they’re in the project since notifications serve the purpose of telling you to come to an app when you’re not there and like notifying you, but that’s not needed when you’re in the project since you’re already giving it attention. For something like an alert, you could just use the print(text) in [alert] block or make your own custom alert for your project, and that would do a better job than notification . But it still is possible, it’s just that also has to be done on their server/backend code, since notifcations for sites usually need a constantly running server (costs extra money) that will decide to send notifications when they need to to people’s devices usually when an app is installed or you subscribe to notifications from a website.
CreatiCode is also most likely dedicating their usage of their backend code to develop their more important features, such as the AI, database, and other cloud/storage/api-related stuff (for FREE). An alternative though (if you really want to ping someone) would be something like the email blocks because a lot of people get email notifications on their phones. However all the cloud blocks are broken right now so we’ll just have to wait.Now I’m not saying notification blocks is a bad feature, but there are more reasons that they wouldn’t add it than not.
For the forum and site:
The same issue of being easily abused and whatnot applies but isn’t as big for notifications within the forums and website. Notifications for whenever things happen like “Somebody liked your project” would be cool and I don’t see many reasons why it wouldn’t be added other than them working on bigger features or because it would require a server thing but it’s also a bit hard to see that because there’s an ability to share a project to your phone or email and they both work.and lastly, for just notifications in total, it would be sorta cool, but not very useful (and maybe annoying) and there’s also email notifications which I think are better. Unless CreatiCode gets an app then notifications would be awesome

Thanks for the detailed feedback. We’ll wait for more discussions in this thread before implementing new notification systems. We want to hear from more users on exactly what type of notifications are most useful.

@info-creaticode The site CreatiCode, not the forum.
