Get & Check - we deliver content and send push notifications to mobile devices

Introduction


A long time ago, when I was administering a WoW server (emulator), I had an idea - to deliver server information to mobile devices to players. And it would be cool to send push notifications. Everything ended then on the deployed environment for development for android. I also read about iOS development that everything is not so simple there.
Years go by, the WoW server has long been closed, another situation happened - the organization of the conference. And once konfa - you need a schedule for mobile devices. One of the advantages is that now a lot of means have appeared to make this application with knowledge only js / html / css. But again - the publication in stor, zamorochki, moderation, etc. And the fact is that you want to send push notifications!
And I was looking for a service where I could just “launch” my content (html / js / css), which would just be cached & rendered on different devices by users. Yes, I would also like to send push notifications. So, having found nothing, the http://getandcheck.com service was born, incl. thanks to my friends from college who wrote clients for iOS apps (Andrei Kovalev), Android (Ivan Lebedev) and WinPhone coming soon (Andrei Polyakov)

The essence


You need to deliver any content (you make up the page yourself using html / css / js) to mobile devices + the ability to send push notifications. Steps:
  1. Go to getandcheck.com , enter via twitter / google
  2. Create a community getandcheck.com/communities/new , simultaneously pointing to the "community key" (what then tell our users)

  3. Update it, put any html. Done!



Community example in personal account list

After just click on your community and give the link ( example ) to users. And there instruction
  1. Download client
  2. Run the application & enter the key (or scan the QR code)
  3. To stay connected!

')
Everything from this point on can be sent to all subscribed devices push notifications.

The project is already in working condition and can be tested.

By the way, after the user has entered the community there is an opportunity (technical) to associate it with an account on an external service (for example, a WoW account). And when an important event occurs (for example, mail has arrived), you can point to it, only one user in the community can send push notifications. If someone decides to use the service and needs such a feature, we’ll do it privately, then roll it out to the public :)

There is also a small deposit for the API.
The first type is server. Those. take your developer_key and, for example, update the community. Or send a push notification.

The second is the client. The moment the user renders your html. For example, get in json all the latest push community notifications. In the same place there will be a possibility of a point binding of the device <-> account on your service.

PS I did the library for the WoW emulator . It is a pity that there was no such year 4 ago :)
