Thanks for the plug @rrhoover! I really like your website @danielbuechele. I'd love to chat sometime about our experiences working on third-party Facebook apps for the Mac. :)
@danielbuechele Really neat. Appreciate it. One small problem is that it seems to freak out when I click on a Facebook or Youtube video that was sent to me. Other than that it seems to work nicely. I dig it.
Edit: Seems to be fixed. AWESOME.
@danielbuechele Nice app and it looks great. (Icon's wonderful.) The bug that prevents me from using it is that whenever I command-tab back into it (or open it from the app icon), it goes to the next unread message.
(Reproduce: mark message unread, command-tab out, then either a) command-tab back in or b) click dock icon. It'll go to the next unread message and mark it as read.)
@markbao Yes, this is a little tricky. Sometimes you want this feature. For example, when you click on a notification of a message you just received. And sometimes you don't want that feature. I disabled this feature for now and add a preference in an upcoming version.
As someone who has used Flamingo and Astro. This looks GREAT!
Edit: After using it real fast. I'm sold (would have probably paid $1.99 if not a little more for this, FWIW) In some ways it's basically a webview style approach, but the most important feature is... it works.
This is everything I ever wanted. I use Chrome extensions to hide everything on Facebook except for Messenger which is usually what draws me back but I wish it had better notifications
Update: Just downloaded it. Super simple and does it's job. One feature I would like is for it to be a menubar item with notifications
@imkevinxu I am not a big fan of menu bar items, but I see that there is a lot of people using them. Also this would allow me to submit the app to the AppStore (It got rejected right now, because it "only" is as web-view)
Report
@danielbuechele: Noticed a glitch when you have sms authentication enabled for new browsers and devices, bummer. Otherwise it looks really nice !
@jbathiat I am working on this right now! Try opening the app, wait a couple of seconds to let it fetch the new config, then relaunch it. Hope this works.
