- Allow whisper to automatically send messages on events
- Add event loop support (e.g. react on chain callback)
Ready for discussion/implementation
- Access contact list of user you are friends with
Implementation options:
- Passing the whole list in context parameter can be enough (but not the best option)
- We could set that list using some method on status-go side, then define js function in otto vm which returns this list (better one)
- Fix various bugs with global commands (incorrect formating receiver side, command name not displayed)
- Allow to set bot status
^ that's easy to implement, we just need to add another method like https://github.com/status-im/status-go/blob/bug/whisper-on-geth1.6.1/geth/jail/handlers.go#L117 and handle signal
- Allow bots and DApps to communicate (share localStorage?)
Sharing of localStorage is not crystal clear thing, we will need to allow access to bot's localStorage only when exactly dapp's url is opened in @browse command. Also it's not clear how this will work in group chats.
- Improve debugging story - reload, logs, Chrome Devtools (DApp, Bots). Allow webview debugging with release builds.
