I wonder how long it's going to take for this app to upgrade to the point where I actually get push notifications on my phone.

@postal_poet I can answer that.

Probably never. As it's designed to keep A: Battery usage low B: not be annoying/addicting

But! You can push the notifications to your desktop in windows and I'm sure there's a similar option in linux.

Last option C: would be to go ahead and ask J for permissions to access the api and you could make your own version of coso and get notifications.

@postal_poet by own version I just mean you'd make api calls and they'd send the info to your app - it'd still be coso but with less features likely unless you make the calls to the api for them.

@MrGoat I have no idea how to do that

@postal_poet Ah yeah that's a bit technical but you'll just have to check your notifications tab in the app when you want to see what's going on in your feed. You can sort by categories: ALL Mentions LIkes Boosts Poll Results and Follows

@MrGoat appreciate it. Thank you. 👍

@postal_poet Yeah sorry it's not what you wanted but that's the deal. it's for privacy and battery concerns. Coso doesn't wanna drain your battery or spy on you.

@MrGoat all of which I appreciate. It just feels like I'm starting all over again like I did with Twitter back in 2014 😂

@postal_poet I think if you hop on the desktop version and browse a bit it will help with the mobile version while you're out and about.

@MrGoat @postal_poet

You can access CoSo through a mobile browser, it should send notifications.

I prefer a browser to the app.

If you're on Android, Kiwi browser uses Chrome extensions.

@heyrhiannon @MrGoat @postal_poet

Yeah set up a PWA via browser you'll get an app like experience with push notifications

I use PWA for most sites instead of installing apps

Open CoSo up to log in screen and tap three dots top right, browser settings, then tap "add to home" you'll get a CoSo icon added to app drawer

Tap that CoSo icon log in you'll get a pop-up asking to allow notifications 😉
