This topic replaces [WORKING] LoyceV's alternative for Piggy's @mention notification bot. It's self-moderated to keep the topic as compact as possible (for more frequent scraping).

Notifications are not case-sensitive ("loycev" works as well as "LoyceV").


Current plans:
I can set up something similar to LoyceV's: Follow users on Bitcointalk.org (posts and/or topics), but so far that doesn't have a lot of users.
It's less easy to follow than PMs, but doesn't give PM-spam for active users and you could use a Browser plugin such as check4change for it to get notifications.

a blacklist Cheesy

Once I have it working, it'll be easy to expand with keywords (say: "Bitcoin") and a blacklist (we all know who I'm talking about) of users to ignore.

Limitations
  • I scrape each topic title only once (it's not the post title). If the topic title changes, it won't change in the Notifications.
  • Updates aren't realtime. Currently, there are 5 2 updates per hour. This may change in the future (depending on the required processing power).
  • Only notifications from the past 7 days are shown. Older notifications will be removed.
  • If there's a "$" in your username, I'll remove it from your name before searching for matches (this is why).
Warning
Don't quote someone else's preferences (the ones within code-tags) in this topic. I don't excluded quotes, so you might accidentally "copy" and use someone else's preferences.

TODO:
-add topic title
-only upload updates if there are changes.
-ascending or descending order
-just links to posts, or full quotes: make this optional!
-fix ignore list for users
-add ignore options for topics (useful for statistical threads that give weekly notifications)
-Add numbering
-fix usernames with $ (coinlocket$)
-add link to archived posts
-Ignore usernames if they're part of a larger word (initScript > Initscri).
-improve performance
-differentiate between quotes and @mentions
-custom aliases
-fix alignment (example of the problem)
-add link on loyce.club homepage
-upload update only if there is a new notification, don't update just to remove old notifications
-replace "Today" in quotes with the current date
