Isn't this just email?
- TeMPOraL 4y agoIf only applications sent their notifications through e-mail. I particularly miss the times when Facebook would send notifications to your e-mail, with full content included, within minutes to hours of an event, if you happened to be logged out from the service. This was a neat way of reading chat messages without making the sender aware you've read them (that was before the whole thing got separated out to become Messenger). EDIT: one major benefit of e-mail as notification channel is that a typical non-ISP personal mailbox has practically infinite storage and a sensible search mechanism, giving you historizing/archiving for free.
