Channels

It is possible to make automatic push notification based on your users own configuration.

This require two step:

Configure RSS feed or XML Feed in AppDeck Cloud Service
Create a configuration form where user can add/remove the channels they want

Channels API

A channel is a string. Each feed is associated to a channel. When a new link is pushed to phones, all users which subscribes to associated channel will recieve a message.

User's Channels are stored in AppDeck Cloud Services. You will use a JavaScript API to get/set channels fro current user.
