Let’s say you had a game console emulator installed, you could use Portal to drop a bunch of ROMs onto your phone and the emulator was able to find them.

This played very nicely with other apps, making interactions possible just like on a regular computer.

We chose to have Portal put files into the shared storage on your phone so other apps could have access to the files after they were transferred. We are closing Portal because Google has made changes to both Android and Chrome that prevent Portal from working in the way we built it to work. Important: The Pushbullet app is not affected by this announcement. Unfortunately, over 6 years later, I’m now writing this post because many things have changed and the time has come to close Portal. We built the slickest app we could and have continued to support the app, site and server for over 6 years now. Tentatively, the release date is scheduled for: When NodeBB v0.5.Portal was a passion project that we built to experiment with other ways of moving data between phones and computers. After a short period, it will be released publically and published on npm like other plugins. What this means is that upon release, it is available exclusively to members of our hosted community and select partners. Pushbullet released their OAuth interface yesterday, and so now's the perfect time to unveil our integration with it too! We're going into full testing mode with this now that the plugin is more or less complete, so you can try it out here on this forum (by clicking the "Pushbullet" menu option in your user settings), or by clicking here

We've been in touch with PushBullet, a Y Combinator-funded startup in San Francisco, and they granted us early access to their OAuth based integration, allowing me to bring this to you guys.

After much anticipated demand, I'm proud to say that Push Notifications have landed in NodeBB!
