New Plugin: Mobile Push Notifications

Introducing a new plugin on Buzztouchmods.com for self-hosted users: Mobile Push Notifications. Do you make apps for clients? Do you use Buzztouch.com for your push notifications? Then this plugin is a must for you. Rather than forcing your clients to login to their accounts on your control panel and navigate to the push notification area, you can give them an app to do it on the go. This plugin is meant to go in an app for your app-making business, although it could be used as part of an 'administrator' area directly on your client's app. Note: This plugin assumes that you use the Buzztouch.com push notification feature, rather than a service like Parse.com or Urban Airship. https://buzztouchmods.com/market/mobilepn/mobilepn.html

I was privileged to beta test this . It is extremely simple and does what it says on the tin. It's cool to fire PN from your own custom app. Excellent stuff

Sweet mama! :-) For those concerned about the price, add it as a line item in the Statement of Work. After all, if the Client needs that capability, they should pay for it. I know, it's not affordable for the home hobbyist app developer. I too said, "yikes! That's a lotta moolah!". But then I realized the plugin is really for the folks who have Clients. -- Niraj

Thanks all. Concerning the price: Niraj is absolutely on target here. This is for those that make apps for clients (and get paid to do so). This should be a huge selling point, something that distinguishes you in the market. Let's say this plugin helps you sell an app for a modest $1,000. It will have paid for itself right away.

Nice work! $50 for this code is a complete bargain! I built something similar to work with Parse for a client and would have been ecstatic to just spend $50 and get this kind of a polished product! Are you thinking about Android for this at all?

Yup price is great for client type apps. I always charge my clients in the thousands so it's a no brainer purchase for me if my client asked for a feature like this. This is also why I charge more for certain plugins of mine. This is a awesome plugin, when I stop using Parse I will purchase this and use the crap out of it! Keep it behind a login screen I think ;) David https://buzztouchmods.com/market

Best part, David, is that it's already behind a login screen that connects directly with your self-hosted control panel!
