Hey there!
Friendly reminder: Mothers day is around the corner 💐🌷
On completely unrelated news - a new version of NetAlertX is here! 🧑🚀🚀
You know who's amazing? YOU - the community - and that's the only way this app will become sustainable (unless suddenly I can quit my real job 😅). For example @ulrichwisser implemented a new way to clean device names, over in the Weblate online portal you contributed to 🌏 Chinese (@onebest1 🙏), Polish ( @IsuckPOTATO 🙏), Italian ( @mapi68, @SirAfino 🙏), & Portuguese (Brazil) language translations, and helped out in discussions and on various issues (thanks @fcschow for spotting bugs 🐛) . I also thought - Do you want a community portal?
Now to some feature highlights.
You can now use a new NMAP scan plugin 🚀 (@stevenengland, @vladaurosh 🙏 for helping). This one might be great to complement your ARPSCAN scanner if you have devices offline, that should be detected as online.
There are over a 100 settings to fine-tune the app, and that granularity is amazing, but sometimes it's hard to find what you are looking for. You can now filter the settings page 🔍 to find the one setting you are after faster.
Annoyed by changing lists in Settings - because there is a typo and no way to fix it inline? Not anymore - all list settings, such as Subnets, can be edited with single and double-click actions 1x 📝| 2x 🚮.
I tried also addressing various cache/loading issues so I hope this release improves on that as well. Still, you might need to refresh your browser cache - and click the 🔄 refresh button in the top right corner, but I hope this will be less required in the future.
And there is more - just check the details below
