I am in the process of creating a notification system for the Steem blockchain.
How will it work?
Currently, it will run on a NodeJs server, it listens to the blockchain using the streamOperations method of the steem-js library.
How will it notify?
Currently, there are three operations of notification:
- Mailgun API - Sends an email via the Mailgun API
- SMTP Server - Sends an email using an SMTP server
- PushBullet - Send a push notification to selected devices using the PushBullet API
How do I get it?
I am still testing currently, so comments on this post will help with my testing.
When I have finished my testing, I will push the code to this GitHub repository it will be licensed under GPLv3 for anyone to use or contribute to.

Can you reply to this post when you launch the notification thing? I have been looking forward to notifications on steemit.
I have pushed the code to GitHub but you really need to understand how to run Nodejs to run it your self.
I am considering running it as a service if there is enough interest. Is this something you would be interested in?
Yes, because I have no idea how to run it now
