"Feed Disrupted" notifier about phant HOT 6 CLOSED

Sounds good. This might be a good service for feeds attached to sparkfun.com acounts since we don't store user email accounts with stream metadata. What do you think?

That's an acceptable approach. Is there another way to offer the service? Perhaps an optional email field during account creation? Not ideal but I'm not sure how else to offer the 'Notify me when' service.

That would work too. Would you like data.sparkfun.com to have an authenticated section with feed management, or would you like SparkFun users to manage their feeds from their sparkfun.com account page?

from phant.

No preference. Which is easier and more seamless to implement? I would lean towards using data.sparkfun as the wild west of anon and sparkfun.com as the friendly area where you can tweak things like feed descriptions and notification options.

That's the cleanest way to do it from my perspective, and it prevents us from collecting a bunch of duplicate info from users who want to keep track of their data streams.

Phant is No Longer in Operation

Unfortunately Phant, our data-streaming service, is no longer in service and will be discontinued. The system has reached capacity and, like a less-adventurous Cassini, has plunged conclusively into a fiery and permanent retirement. There are several other maker-friendly, data-streaming services and/or IoT platforms available as alternatives. The three we recommend are Blynk, ThingSpeak, and Cayenne. You can read our blog post [ https://www.sparkfun.com/news/2413 ] on the topic for an overview and helpful links for each platform.
