Lemmy Notify is a desktop application that sits in your system tray and monitors your Lemmy account for new posts and private messages. It acts as a lightweight indicator, allowing you to stay updated without constantly checking your browser.

Note: Currently, this functions primarily as a system tray indicator.

• Cross-Platform Support: Works on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
• System Tray Integration:
  • Displays status icons (No updates, New Messages, New Posts).
  • Tooltip with quick summary (New Posts/Messages count).
  • Context menu for quick actions (Refresh, Settings, Show App, Quit).
• Notifications:
  • Detects new private messages.
  • Detects new posts in your subscribed communities (checking for unread posts or posts with unread comments).
• Secure: Uses secure storage for saving your password.
• Configurable:
  • Set your Lemmy instance URL.
  • Adjust polling interval (default: 5 minutes).
  • Option to start minimized to the system tray.
• Interactive UI:
  • Main window displays clickable links to new posts and your instance.
  • Shows delta counts for updates.

Icon	Meaning
	No Updates: You are all caught up.
	New Messages: You have unread private messages.
	New Posts: There are new posts or comments to view.

Check the Releases page for the latest binaries for your platform.

If you prefer to build the application yourself, follow these steps.

1. Flutter SDK: Ensure you have Flutter installed (SDK version >=3.1.5 <4.0.0). Install Flutter.
2. Git: To clone the repository.

If you are building on Linux, you will need the following development packages:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y clang cmake ninja-build pkg-config libgtk-3-dev libappindicator3-dev libsecret-1-dev libjsoncpp-dev libnotify-dev

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/arran4/lemmy_notify.git
   cd lemmy_notify

2. Install dependencies:

   flutter pub get

3. Run the app:

   # For Windows
   flutter run -d windows
   
   # For Linux
   flutter run -d linux
   
   # For macOS
   flutter run -d macos

4. Build for release:

   flutter build windows
   flutter build linux
   flutter build macos

1. Launch the application.
2. Open Settings (either from the window or the system tray context menu).
3. Enter your Lemmy Server URL (e.g., https://lemmy.world).
4. Enter your Username and Password.
5. Set the Timer Interval (in minutes) for how often to check for updates.
6. Click Save.

The status will update to "Configured" and then "Updated" once it successfully connects and fetches data.

The main application logic is contained within lib/main.dart. It utilizes the lemmy_api_client (v3) for API interaction and tray_manager/window_manager for desktop integration.
