Still it seems to be history/central inbox for your unread notifications doesn't just make sense for your phone - it makes sense everywhere you receive notifications.
- Groxx 15y agoAn interesting idea... but IMO, Growl tends to be used for very transient information. X sent a message = Y, Z finished, etc, all things which are likely visible some other way on your screen. An icon with a flag / number / color change, for instance. Growl tends to provide enough data to determine if you should switch applications then; I don't know if most of the messages have any real value beyond ~ a minute. Especially as they're often incomplete messages. It seems to me a "Boxcar for Growl" would just be useful to see how many things you have to check. Not to say Growl can't be used for such a purpose. Just that it isn't currently.
