Many similar apps support checking station prices, and sending push notifications if they hit a certain value. It would be awesome if we could implement something like this for the tankste! project.
As a potential solution to this we could use UnifiedPush or GCM on android, and APNS on iOS.
I'm not sure how an implementation of that should look like in the backend, as we would need to keep track of the users who want to receive notifications for specified stations, and would need to send a notification if a price update hits the specified threshold. As I don't really know the structure of this repo I have no idea how this should be handled.
I'd be ready to implement this feature in the mobile app, but I don't have enough knowledge in either Elixir or the project layout to do the backend part without assistance.
I'd like to hear the thoughts of other people on this subject, and hope we could work together to find a solution if this is something that's wanted by other people too.
Thanks for the amazing app!
