Hello,
Thanks for your reply, Justin. I actually looked at fedmsg-notify after
that and understood that my application would be redundant and I left it
off there. Regarding my second query, I will do some more research and
start off working on fedmsg from where I left it and ask in the
#fedora-apps channel as you have asked.
Yes, I got accustomed to Riot after you mentioned that to me on Diversity
channel (telegram), and thanks a lot for that too.
Also, bee told me about Outreachy mentor's illness and I hope he recovers
fast.
Regards,
Dyuti

Hi Dyuti,
Thanks for your patience on a reply. Sachin is recovering from a long
illness and may be slow to respond – I will try to cover for him as much
as I can.

As it happens, the functionality you described already exists! You can
see the code and project here:
https://github.com/fedora-infra/fedmsg-notify
This app takes fedmsg notifications and relays them to a user's desktop.
You may find this tool useful to look at as an example.

This question is one I am not sure how to answer. If you join IRC and
ask in #fedora-apps on Freenode IRC network, someone may be able to
answer your question there.
You can use webchat, but I recommend using a client that keeps you
connected persistently, even when you are not online (so then you can
see messages when you log back in). Riot is a good tool to use if you
are not already using IRC heavily.

Hope this helps – let me know if you are unable to get an answer, and
I'll try to help get you something until Sachin returns and is able to
answer more in depth.
