Hyper: Disable linux auto update notifications

[passcod]

• [x] I am on the latest Hyper.app version

• [x] I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: ArchLinux

• Hyper.app version: 1.4.8 (and canary.8 too)

Issue

It should be possible (with a config line) to disable the update notification.
Constantly having to close that notification is really annoying.

Perhaps like this:

    // choose either `'stable'` for receiving highly polished,
    // or `'canary'` for less polished but more frequent updates.
    // set to `false` to disable update notifications
    updateChannel: false,

@passcod Hi, It is not a good idea to turn off automatic updates. The best solution is to fix this regression 😸

[passcod]

Um, automatics updates do not work on Linux and I do not expect them to work. I expect to update Hyper like any other linux package, the normal way. I would like to tell Hyper to kindly stop telling me about updates.

@passcod Ok, I will talk with the team about the problem :)

Any news? :3

[therealmarkchipp]

Agreed. I came here looking for a solution to exactly this. I'm running stable but I'm annoyed by having to close the alert about the latest Canary build every single time I launch Hyper.

[passcod]

@therealmarkchipp that's a related issue but not the same: I believe there's an bug/regression currently where canary builds are advertised to stable users.

[therealmarkchipp]

@passcod True enough. But I still +1 your initial request to hide the alerts.

Agreeing on this, when installing Hyper via a package repository (for example AUR) the constant update notifications are pretty annoying.

Easy hack

Add this to _.hyper.js_

    css: `
      .notifications_view {
        display: none;
      }
    `

Or even with fancier fade out effect

    css: `
      @keyframes fadeOut {
        80% {
          opacity: 1;
        }
        99% {
          dispaly: block;
        }
        100% {
          display: none;
          opacity: 0;
        }
      }
      .notifications_view {
        animation: fadeOut ease 5s;
        animation-fill-mode: forwards;
      }
    `

I just created a very simple plugin hyper-disable-new-version-notification. It just always negates the redux state which triggers the new version notification. This way you don't have to use css to disable all notifications ;)

[passcod]

I moved off Hyper, for the record, but I'm leaving this open for the many people who clearly want this.

[passcod]

Edited out: message that, honestly, was written because I'm tired.

Hey @MAPESO? What's up with this issue? Any updates?

[olsonpm]

@passcod - chill man. This software is free, nobody's obligated to follow up on anything. Sometimes people forget, sometimes they get busy, or even stop caring, it just doesn't matter. If you want a follow up to something then ask politely.

[passcod]

@olsonpm sure, ok
