Pop up a notification if a web client update is available

Describe the problem

A version of the Cinny web app comes out that fixes bugs. You only get the update after you refresh the page.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • The app could check for updates already deployed on the server hosting your web client daily. The user can then dismiss that notification, but still get notifications if newer versions come out later.
  • The app could also check upstream (on GitHub for yet to be deployed versions) and ask the user to tell their host to deploy the new version if it has not been updated for a few days or if it contains urgent security fixes. If the user dismisses this notification for a specific version, they should still get a notification after their host has deployed this version, making it available for them.
