I agree that the ionic popovers look a little bit heavy (well that’s entirely subjective) but I suppose you can fix that through styling (SASS/CSS). What I would want is something looking more like the familiar “tool tips”.
I just open and close them in my Controller, not in a service.
By the way what do you mean by non-interrupting? What I would like is to be able to close them by clicking outside the popover instead of having to click the button. Or optionally with a timeout where it auto-closes after some time.
Haven’t spent time on this but I suppose you can build this stuff yourself either based on ionic-popover or from scratch.
Something like Instagram or Facebook error notification or email notification when mail was sent when you have bad or not internet connection …
By non-interrupting i mean user can navigate the apps like usual without forced to close the popup while the notification will auto hidden after a certain interval …
Got it. So something like a lightweight ‘tool tip’ which auto-hides after some time instead of the somewhat heavy-handed modal popup which is the ‘ionic popover’.
It would be nice to make a component / “ion” for this.
By the way, to notify the user about new messages I’m planning to use a “badge” (with a number) in the right hand corner of my Title Bar (next to the other title bar buttons).
