I would like to formally request a new feature for Push Notifications. I typically run my X-Carve while I’m physically in the shop. On the rare occasion I need to step away for a while during a long carve it would be nice to have some sort of push notifications that can be sent to my phone. Integration with a service like Pushbullet would be amazing in Easel. Some sort of status update maybe every 10% complete up to Project completion.
