Notificon: Client-side favicon notifications
- rehashed 15y agoThis was inspired by the favicon notifications for gmail. I'll add an exception for clients without canvas, but it should be as fully compatible as is possible.
- fomojola 15y agoDo you have an alternative URL: github appears to be down right now.
- Nikkau 15y agoGoogle cache version works.
- tuxcanfly 15y agoThere's also a Notification API in HTML5 http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/notifications/quick http://www.html5rocks.com/en/tutorials/notifications/quick
- jonknee 15y agoHTML5 notifications are great for some applications, but they require the user to grant permission before receiving notifications. It solves a different problem than the favicon notification technique.
- k33n 15y agoSeems to not work if you use a .png instead of a .ico for your favicon.
- rehashed 15y agoBoth PNGs and ICOs should definitely work. Unless you specify a favicon in the function call, it will look for the one specified in your head. If one is not specified in your head it will use the default favicon location (/favicon.ico).
- exogen 15y agoIs this working for anyone? I don't see any favicon changes in Chrome or Safari.
- evanwalsh 15y agoSafari doesn't work for me, but Chrome does.
- jonknee 15y agoIt works for me in Chrome for Mac.
- rehashed 15y agoIt should work in Chrome 6 and above and Firefox 2 and above. There is no support for modifying favicons in other browsers client-side.
- exogen 15y agoWeird – I'm using Chrome 14 and Safari 5 and don't see it. Firefox works though.
- morsch 15y agoW4M in both Firefox (nightly) and Chrome in Ubuntu. Really cool, I can see lots of uses for this.
