Netduma Staff Netduma Crossy Posted May 1, 2015 Netduma Staff Share Posted May 1, 2015 Not sure how many people run Linux or would find it useful but I've written a python script that will display a Desktop Notification when there is new post/thread. Frequent users might find it useful Its written in python. Feel free to modify the code, distribute it, you can do whatever you want with it There is a readme file in the download that explains how to run it if you want to use it. Also, this will probably work on mac with a few changes so if you are on a mac and want to use it then I can change it a bit to make it work. Download [here]. - Linux (last updated 01/05/2015) Download [here]. - Mac (last updated 01/05/2015) Btw, only tested this on Ubuntu, not sure if it will work on other Linux Distributions. EDIT: Re-written the program. You can get it here which is the github thing which Iain recommended doing. The same script now works for Mac and Linux Read the readme for install instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Netduma Iain Posted May 1, 2015 Administrators Share Posted May 1, 2015 Nice one Crossy, Quick suggestion, use something like github when you're distributing source. For example I probably won't run the program because my dev machine only runs certain things on it. But I'd love to scan through the code & see what you've done.
