Lunie: Error subscribing to new blocks

[nylira]

0.7.0

Description: I'm getting a lot of "Error subscribing to new blocks" error messages, both during account import and while logged in. It may be because Voyager is trying to switch to different full nodes in the background. The app continues to work, and the block count is increasing despite these errors. I vote for disabling these error messages because they are very user unfriendly.

A lot of users are having this bug--I'm getting this feedback from our community chat. I think we should prioritize it and put it in this sprint if possible. Anyone have ideas on how to fix it?

We don't have Sprints anymore ;) In my opinion bugs should always be top priority so let's do it.

For ideas: I could imagine, that the subscription is terminated to late (after gaiacli is killed) and therefor the subscription errors. A first step should be displaying a better error message to understand the problem.

@jolesbi:

often, when there is an error we send a bunch of notifications. i think we should either limit it to one at a time or debounce them. not sure the best way to handle this - maybe a notifications page?

A notifications page is a good idea. Should we consider using Electron's support for OS-native notifications? https://electronjs.org/docs/tutorial/notifications

[faboweb]

As our strategy is to get rid of electron at some point, I would advise against using more electron features.

A notification page is a good idea. We probably need a dashboard anyway as we need to show the user when he is able to finish a unbond transaction.

Let's keep the scope of this issue small. Just have to fix the exact bug. I made a separate issue for a notifications component #891
