Thank you for this.

Nice script to stop the daemon, I added to the todo list to include before release

[mihael]

And then how do you restart the service? - simply by restarting the app? or by systemctl --user start greenline.service ?

[Linus67]

@mihael simply by restarting the app

@brenno.almeida awesome app, switched to it.
a thing you should add, is aytanna message indicator support so we can see messages after timer runs out.

other then that, i think you should expand settings to include all the standard chat and profile settings.

also sqlite db files should be encrypted if possible.

@mihael the app has a built in logic to recover the daemon in case of a crash, which seems to be working here

[brenno.almeida]

@ChromiumOS-Guy what do you mean by seeing the message after time runs out?

@ChromiumOS-Guy this app is draining my battery faster then my cat can eat, other then that amazing

[ChromiumOS-Guy]

@brenno.almeida about that never mind, the background daemon took a bit of time to start handeling notifications properly.

[ChromiumOS-Guy]

@nbdynl compared to a full electron app like whatsnew this might as well use no battery.

at least from my perspective its noticeably better, could be improvements considering this is native and comparing it to electron is like having the bar underground, you pass it by existing above ground.

to be fair, I have (with greenline) four service daemons that are not optimized running so whatever improvement there is I feel keenly.
