iOS - Feature Request - QR Code Scanner + Topic Label

[wunter8]

"Labels" already exist. If you look at the subscription settings for a specific topic, you'll see a "Display Name" setting. A QR code should work already, too (at least on Android). If you create a QR code that goes to a website like this: ntfy://[DOMAIN]/[TOPIC], and scan it with any QR code reader on your phone, it should open up the ntfy app and automatically subscribe to that topic.

For example, you could do ntfy://ntfy.sh/UUID or ntfy://ntfy.example.com/UUID. Then once you're subscribed to the topic, change the display name

I don't hate the idea of adding a scannable/visual thing to add a topic though. Not high on the list though. The barcode would probably just include the ntfy:// link, as wunter said.

It would be great, if a QR-code with topic (and label) could also be generated from UIs context menu.

IOS too please.
I just integrated this with Perfex CRM (from codecanyon) and would love a point and click way for staff to subscribe to their personal notification topic and the department ones in the mobile apps.

I guess an alternative would be to have subscriptions pushed back when a user/pass is used to connect to a specific topic (like a company wide one)

P.S. Just found this and I am amazed how much work you've put into it. Fantastic project. Thanks!

At least for android, there is now actions.intent.GET_BARCODE which would request the system's default barcode reader, so that should reduce the complexity of needing to bake in a barcode reader library into the app. This feature will certainly be handy for adding UUID based topic label
