Message notifications

[vladosam]

It would be great if we could get notifications when xmpp-web page is not active or browser is minimised.

I agree.
You mean something like this: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification?

[nioc]

What I think for it:

• ask permission on main page (after login),
• notify user when he receives a message (chat and groupchat ?) and the app (page) is not currently displayed.

I do not know if you can catch that the browser is minimized?

This works wells with #57 for which I will add a timer for inactivity. But may be it is not a good idea to use the same mechanisms as some users may want to deactivated chat state... 🤔

Yes, some pop-up notifications for missed messages with missed message counter on tab. Maybe with sound?

That sounds good: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Page_Visibility_API

OK for counter on title.

It is existing in VueUse:

• useDocumentVisibility
• usewebnotification

[nioc]

I propose the following:

• add a switch for user requesting notifications (on the presence drop down),
• when a message is received, if the app is not visible, browser display a notification
