Feature request: Ability to receive alerts for releases on non-Android projects #119
Comments

I assume you don't want to use https://github.com/slapperwan/gh4a with the custom watch settings, since it doesn't download files directly? |
|
Issue #44 already needs us to add a "track-only" mode for specific sources, so that can definitely be extended to all sources as an option. Actually downloading the files would be a bit more complex though, I'm not sure if that is in scope for this App. |
…) (#123) - All Sources now have a "Track-Only" option that will prevent Obtainium from looking for APKs (though the App must still have a release of some kind so that a version string can be grabbed). - These Apps cannot be installed through Obtainium, but update notifications will still be sent. - The user needs to manually mark them as updated when appropriate. - This addresses issue #119. - It also partially addresses #44 by allowing some sources to be configured as "Track-Only"-only. The first such source (APKMirror) will be added later. - Includes various UI changes to accommodate the above change. - Also makes App loading a bit more responsive (sending Obtainium to the background then returning will now cause App re-load to pick up changes in App versioning that may have been made in the meantime, for instance through update checking).

Added: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/releases/tag/v0.8.0-beta This doesn't let you download any files but will track updates and send update notifications. |

Thank you for adding that. Very cool! However, I haven't yet been able to get it to add the main one I want to track. https://github.com/meshtastic/firmware I tried adding that while selecting "Track only" and it said "Couldn't find a suitable release." I also enabled Include Pre-releases (which many of the builds are) and it's still unable to track it so far. |

Whoops. Should work now: https://github.com/ImranR98/Obtainium/releases/tag/v0.8.1-beta |

Works great now. Thanks again! |
I really appreciate your work on this app. I've been looking for something like this for awhile.
There's several projects that I use this for already, one of them being the Android app for Meshtastic. It would be great to be able to watch and receive an alert (and possibly download the files) for the Meshtastic firmware too. I upgrade a few of my devices OTA via my phone.
I know there's other ways to receive alerts for new releases but it would be handy to have that functionality in this app too, especially with the option to download the files directly. Just putting the idea out there, if you're looking for suggestions.
