Suggestions to make TGIF even better

Add parameters to last heard URL
The lastheard page is very nice with options to filter by TG, callsign or DMR ID. The problem is that you have to enter this filtering information into a field. It would be great to be able to create a custom URL to include the filter so you could have a web shortcut to monitor a specific TG or DMR ID.

Phone notification based on user or TG activity
This would be a killer feature, especially when combined with a personal TG ID. It would be great to get a notification on your phone when your friends connect to a particular TG so you know it's time to turn on your radio or change the current TG.
You could also monitor your personal TG for any activity so you know when someone you don't know wants to reach out to you.

There is a very nice web service called HamAlert.org that provides notification based on callsign activity on pskreporter.info and other sources to spot a contact, mostly for HF activity.
They have developed a phone application that can display the notification, but they can also send these notifications through other channels. Since the information is already in the rolling TGIF Lastheard list, it should be possible to have hamalert.org parse it and identify the triggers.
I contacted them a few weeks ago but haven't heard back from them yet.

If not, this feature could be integrated directly into the TGIF panel and a notification service like Pushover (one-time $5 for the app) or Gotify (self-hosted, FOSS) or others could be used to avoid developing a mobile app.
