Setting up in-app notifications can be a tedious process for developers, involving installing SDKs, creating components, and setting up environment variables.
To streamline this process, a CLI tool called add-inbox was created to set up a notification inbox in Next.js or React applications quickly.
Running npx add-inbox@latest init initiates an interactive setup process that handles framework selection, package manager preference, dependency installation, component scaffolding, environment configuration, and provides next steps.
add-inbox is built using Node.js and libraries like prompts, chalk, fs, and path, aiming to simplify the setup of in-app notifications and gather feedback for further improvements.
