Desktop notifications in for gmail in chrome/webkit
- nowarninglabel 16y agoWell, that's nice, but I've been pretty happy with http://gmail-notify.sourceforge.net/ http://gmail-notify.sourceforge.net/
- mhunter 16y agoThis is cool but too distracting. Seeing the number of unread messages in the icon is already distracting enough!
- chrisfarms 16y agoohhh handy, finally I can pin my gmail tab again... link for those (like me) who missed this http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-in-labs-unread-message-icon.html http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-in-labs-unread-mes...
- xtacy 16y agoThe window looks a little horrible on Mac. Why can't they use Growl notifications just like other apps do?
- willscott 16y agoThe notifications are allowed to be full webpages - which can then communicate back to the parent window. (or extension) This will be a reasonable alternative to modal dialogs for chrome extensions initially, and eventually for web apps in general. (if it gets adopted by other browsers) http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/notifications/quick/ http://www.html5rocks.com/tutorials/notifications/quick/
- vlod 16y agoAnybody know how this works? Will my web-app be able to send notifications to the desktop? I assume so if it's going to be cross browser.
- minhajuddin 16y agoThis works only in chrome, your web-app can also do this, but the user will have to authorize your web-apps use of this. I wrote a small chrome reminder extension which used these notifications => https://github.com/minhajuddin/quickr https://github.com/minhajuddin/quickr . That should show you how to create a notification from your app.
