hyper: The popup about canary version is annyoing, can't disable that!

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, Hyper 2.0.0 (Stable), default settings.

It is so annoying, every time Hyper launches I have to click [x] which is almost invisible because of the color it has. Please add a setting to disable notifications about canary versions.

I think the middle ground here would be a ‘Don’t Show Again’ option for notifications.

I feel I’m missing something here. Why not add a config option to disable fetching notifications at all? Why request an empty message?

@chabou The code is at https://github.com/zeit/hyper-news. I’ll move the deployment and alias over to the hyper team on Now so you can control them 👌

Newsfeed was used as a fallback because Linux version doesn’t have an auto-updater. But it doesn’t work well since we have canary releases.

But now, Hyper uses hazel endpoint on Linux too (thanks to #2497). We need to modify our Newsfeed to not announce new versions anymore.

Any ideas how we can do that @matheuss @rauchg?

@albinekb Yes, I am sure 😄 Here’s full .hyper.js

    // choose either `'stable'` for receiving highly polished,
    // or `'canary'` for less polished but more frequent updates
    updateChannel: 'stable',
