Waveboxapp: Add support for OS DND notification setting

[alanchrt]

I'm new to Wavebox, but I've already found it really useful for my web app workflow! Apologies if this feature exists already and I missed it as well. :)

I'm on Wavebox 3.2.0 on Arch Linux if relevant.

It would be really great to be able to temporarily silence notifications. Possibly through the tray icon context menu there could be a "Mute all notifications" option that allows you to mute:

• Until I unmute
• For 15 minutes
• For 30 minutes
• For 1 hour

The main use case I'm considering is when I'm screensharing during meetings, it would be nice to not have notifications for emails/chat messages/etc. popping up on screen. If I could just mute them before a meeting and have them re-enabled later, it would be incredibly useful.

Another use case may be disabling notifications to silence distractions during times when focus is needed.

Yeah, I agree. Would be very handy. I'll look at adding

And for macOS, could it be integrated with the "Do not disturb function" ?
The notifications don't appear, but we can still hear the sound in background.

Thx!

How is this going? There is support for mute on notifications based on time. But I am wondering about the integration with Do Not Disturb on OS level?

Does it need additional things for example from electron?

There is support for temporary muting from the mini-menu and from settings

As for the DND setting in macOS there's a little bit of work we need to do to get that working

I did check the notification documentation for electron and looked at what they have suggested there.

Now I am not a expert but it seems like:
electron-windows-notifications
electron-notification-state

Are interesting. The first one I am not 100% sure but if the second is a way to actually read on notification from system one quite hours that would be awesome.

That only stops notifications. It doesn't mute the sounds? WhatsApp for example still makes the usual notification sound when notifications are muted.
