FWIW, Growl predates iOS
Edit: also, IIRC Growl was originally called "Notification Center", which is the name that Apple later used for their implementation of similar features
Double edit: I should've RTFA which mentions my fun fact
- Someone 6y agoIIRC, Growl was created because a similar feature of Mac OS didn’t make it into the first release of Mac OS X (sorry, can’t find pictures or documentation online) If so, I think its developers can’t be completely unhappy about the end result. Also, their code is (3-clause) BSD licensed. If the product lives on in spirit, does it really matter where the code came from?
- ChrisGrowl 6y agoI never used Mac OS until OS X because I wanted a terminal with Unix userland and also ms office. I don’t know what feature you’re talking about and it was not a consideration when coming up with Growl.
- kergonath 6y agoYou’re right, but Growl did much more than the notifications in classic MacOS. Also, Apple took their sweet time to get their notification system for OS X.
