Title: GW2 Event Explorer, now with desktop/smartphone/tablet notifications
(God, the 45-character title limit sucks, and creating a new thread for this is wasteful, as appending this post to my old thread would be better, but the forum won’t allow me.)
Version 0.2 has been released, for advanced users only, sorry (this is a command-line ruby script).
This version now supports desktop event notifications via growl-for-windows, and growl-for-windows can then forward these event notifications to various iOS/android apps. (In other words, if you run both GW2 Event Explorer and growl-for-windows on your PC, you can get iOS/android event notifications.) You configure optional notifications on an event-by-event basis, although only for one server. You can specify whether to be notified if an event starts, or if it succeeds.
In other words: among other things, you can now be notified on your smartphone when Balthazar is open on your server (for example).
Current version: 0.2 (work-in-progress)
Source code is on github.
