For a browser, this is fairly straightfoward with an open websocket (something philomena can easily support).

The logistics change for mobile devices, though, as delivering messages to them generally requires integration with Firebase (the only provider that can do this, as far as I know).

As convenient as it might make things, I also have an internal resistance to developing features that make this site more addicting to use, and push notifications would probably be one of those things. Additionally, considering how underdeveloped notifications are in general here, it might not be the best idea to add them right now.

I believe that websites in the browser can also provide notifications.

@darkritual3

I would like to get notifications of PM's too, given my tendency to ignore Derpibooru a lot with IRL stuff and leave people waiting for responses, but I get what you mean.

@PUBLIQclopAccountant

ease of access without needing to use a browser, and also to get notifications from your faved artists and such

What functionality would you want out of an app that the current website doesn’t give you?

@Background Pony #CD50
To add to that, you could have all three on F-Droid, that way you won't have to worry about the apps getting removed.

Or alternatively, why not have both?
SFW app that only shows you stuff safe for work.
NSFW app that only shows you stuff not safe for work.
And the PWA that has both SFW and NSFW, and can connect with the apps above.

If the application is open-source, perhaps it could be published on F-Droid?

The Play Store could contain a SFW-only version (which I imagine would still be useful to many people) which would explain that an uncensored version could be installed from F-Droid.

TBH in case of Derpibooru, I'm not sure in what way would a PWA be better than just a web page in the browser. It's not like Derpibooru would be usable offline.

As long as we keep anonymous posting, I'm for it.

@darkritual3
Previous attempts have been deleted from the respective application stores due to prudish interpretations of what NSFW content is allowed. Of course, developing such applications would be feasible, but would be a waste of time if nobody could use them. I'll look at PWAs instead.

what if there was an app similar to the deviant art one for android/ios users

@TexasUberAlles
Your inflammatory phrasing, probably.

@TexasUberAlles
I don't think DNPs apply here. It's not about archiving Derpibooru's image pages. It's about archiving the source sites images were posted to originally. (DA, Tumblr and such.) And the archived pages would be stored in the Internet Archive, not on Derpibooru.

Or perhaps I misunderstood what you meant?

@TexasUberAlles
I'm guessing they refuse to associate with the other boorus, or the drama? If this post gets silently deleted, then that's probably why. (Case in point, Derpibooru and I think Furbooru have pink tags, but the others don't)

…How in the hell do you figure "archives would be bad because DNPs" is some kind of Rule 6 thing?

One thing that bothers me is that when you get notified about a new post in a forum and you click on it, it always takes you to the newest post. I propose a feature where it takes you to the first unread post instead of the newest post.

Maybe make "Forum Activity" (on the sidebar of homepage) link to /posts instead of /forums?
It's always bothered me that "Recent Comments" gives a preview of the comments while "Forum Activity" doesn't.

@Background Pony #2A5F
That would run up against DNPs pretty quick; unlike those ridiculous imitation boorus that sprang up last year to cater to nazis and pedos, Derpi actually respects artists' wishes if they want their art removed entirely from the site.

Have you considered running Web Archive backups on the sources of uploaded images? Wikipedia does this for their citation links and it's useful.

It would help preserve descriptions, comments and other evidence for questions like "what OC is this?", "did the artist intend it to be shipping?" or "is this the earliest source or a later repost?".

@TexasUberAlles
Oops. Well, looks like I need to pay more attention.

@Blissful690
What would be the use case for that feature?

@Blissful690
Like… this, you mean?

@Blissful690
You've never noticed the "List favoriters" tab right below the image source?

I think we should have the option to a view a list of users who have faved certain uploads.

@The Smiling Pony
I'll keep that in mind. Thank you.
