App to notify you when a world opens or a bot starts

Is there an app that lets someone know (via text, or another app to your cellular/mobile device) when a bot starts, or when a world opens?

For example, since YoScroll! doesn't open very often, instead of waiting by my computer all day, refreshing the lobby day after day I could get a text or a notification telling me that it is open and I can join later. Maybe a feature could be that I can make a reservation so that I would be ensured that there would be a spot available for me (have a bot join to allocate my space.)

You ask a lot of questions that have the answer of no...

But also have the answer that "it could be done".

If you have an idea, shouldn't you do it instead of asking if it has already been done? Or at least search for it, and if it doesn't exist, then you can make it and publish it.

Wasn't there a thing called "Yo" or something like that? I remember it did something similar to what you're describing.

That's a good idea. Unfortunately, I'm not sure if you can send Yo's with different content (being able to resolve ambiguity between two different bots that are online at the same time) but it's certainly a start.

Re: App to notify you when a world opens or a bot starts

I'm not sure if it's intended for one person to create multiple yo's, but it's probably possible. You can have a yo for each bot. If you look at this page, there's a list of different yo channels (or whatever you call them), so you could maybe have one for each bot. I haven't tried the app before, so idk if this is possible.

The Yo channels that you are talking about sound interesting (each channel could be a username or a world name.) I'm not planning on making this, but if someone were to make it, this would be a good start.

Indeed. Tons of threads of "has this been done"... I'm not sure if they're to flaunt creativity, suggest group action, or what.

It's to suggest group action, but I don't think it's working that well.

Re: App to notify you when a world opens or a bot starts

I made a thread about this a while ago, with code examples http://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=11517

You will have to make multiple accounts, if you are not happy with this you could try looking into making a Kik bot in which you can write a message up to 1024 characters long, or facebook messanger, twitter, snapchat, instagram or Skype.

And I found out that I replied to it, too! Guilty as charged.

This is what I'm looking for, thanks!
