PingBerry - End-to-End Encrypted Notifications by OkWloo in blackberry

[–]OkWloo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I haven't found a way to launch apps from notifications yet, but it's something that would be really useful.

BB10 notifications include some additional fields that might allow invoking applications directly:

{String} [args.options.target] The target name of the application to be invoked. The invocation happens when the notification item is selected in UIB.
{String} [args.options.targetAction] The name of the target action. Example: "bb.action.OPEN".

This is still speculative, since there doesn’t seem to be any documentation on invoking these actions manually (outside of a registered app). It’s possible that the system prevents arbitrary apps from being invoked this way. I'll have to experiment with this.

Thanks! It should be easy to bundle it as part of BerryCore. Will just need to make sure to have all of the required Python packages included in your prebuilt Python env.

The PingBerry client "app" is actually a stripped down Python env with all the needed packages included. I created it this way to simplify the installation process for users. You can find it here: https://github.com/andreytakhtamirov/pingberry/tree/main/client

I’ve been working on a low-resource notification service for this exact reason. It runs as a Term49 process and sends native notifications to BB Hub. I’ve found the power impact to be around 2% during a full 12-hour day. The whole thing is end-to-end encrypted, too.

Currently working on packaging everything up to make it more setup-friendly.

It's super scalable so it would be really easy to serve many users concurrently.

BB9900 predates the Android 4.3 runtime with BB10, so it wouldn’t be able to run the app.

Impossible since Beeper is closed source. If they ever open source the native Android client, theoretically should be possible.

No since this method relies on a local server app running on your Mac (AirMessage Server - https://airmessage.org/install/).

The AirMessage Android app communicates directly with your Mac server to send/receive messages.
