Are people, in general, supposed to know Growl is? The link provided certainly provides no context nor got me curious enough to google it.

- pfranz 6y agoIf you have the context of being a geeky Mac user about 10 years ago you likely would. Growl was an open source notification system that many apps supported. Like it said in the article, in 2012 macOS started shipping their own. So the usefulness and popularity dropped. I feel like many of these kinds (especially non-corporate) of blog posts are informal and assume by reading you know what it is. I'm not sure how HN could address this. But I always greatly appreciate when blog posts provide and obvious and quick link to their product page. https://growl.github.io/growl/ https://growl.github.io/growl/
