Zeronet: Show alerts in title text.

[styromaniac]

Such as a refresh 🔄 emoji at the beginning of the title when a new version of the page is available, so tabs can signal for site updates. Give simple emoji signals for each alert,

Actually we do. I also could use the functionality to full reload (cache refresh) with button added to the message about new version. The latter is for the development process.

Even if emoji aren't good [enough], some way to notify a person about changes would be useful. One problem is that most browsers tend to swap out pages you haven't accessed for a while so the users wouldn't get a notification/title change/whatever whilst these sites are most likely the ones you're monitoring most.

I think this should be done by the site itself as the modification could come from user data/db change as well.

@HelloZeroNet Doesn't ZeroNet Wrapper or Sidebar already provides some notification if site changes?

[filips123]

Not always. If you build and sign new version of site yourself using command line, while you are having the site opened in tab, it won't update, but just display some notification. That's how it was few months ago.

Here's my scenario.
I got few ZN instances running (on different ports) with my site and have them open in tabs.
I sign and publish on the source tab.
Title of one of the tabs changes to one with emoticon.
Since my site depends on other peers I go to the first tab that received update to reload and review changes.

@imachug use feeds! There is RSS or Atom. Actually it is a good idea to use feeds with ZeroNet.
One who runs ZeroNet can subscribe to any feed provided by any other site owner on ZeroNet and all problem can be solved.

Emoji are totally irrelevant.

The great thing about my silliest ideas is that there are developers who will know a less absurd solution.
