Notify User on Captcha

[jpchip]

As suggested in #19, send an email notification when a captcha is presented. This would mean adding email server credentials to the .env file so the user could basically send themselves an email.

Keep in mind gmail will be one of the most popular and plenty of people use 2FA which will complicate matters. I actually setup an account elsewhere and use it only for automated notices to myself from tasks on my htpc such as "X tv show was converted to mkv @ y date/time"

[jpchip]

Since adding emails would mean adding SMTP credentials to the .env file and just seems generally annoying to set up, thought I'd look into other options. Found this neat library: https://github.com/mikaelbr/node-notifier

So, I set it up to actually send system notifications when there is a captcha. That should get your attention.

Closing this ticket for now.

You need to run npm install

[famewolf]

ran it with sudo because it kept trying to write to /usr/local/lib. I wanted it installed for the user but even that still didn't work. "sudo npm install -g giveaway-grabber" and then restarting resulted in:

ahh, don't run it with the -g. Make sure you are in the directory the package.json file is and run sudo npm install

[famewolf]

Working now. Might want to mention those steps in the changelog for "upgrades"?
