This is impressive, but how will this not be abused for spam? Fluid's window.fluid.addDockMenuItem() is alarming, but even just growl support for arbitrary sites will get spammed to death pretty quickly... it's just a new species of popup.
- abi 17y agoFor the Fluid API, Yip only supports window.fluid.showGrowlNotification() so you don't have to worry about dock menu items. This is a very preliminary release. Rate-limiting messages from a single website is the crucial first step in preventing message spam (and this will likely be implemented pretty soon). As for more advanced "spam prevention", check out the discussion I had with one of the commenters on my post.[1] I think a beter solution can be found for notifications than for the existing problem with window.alert which can not only be spammed incessantly but also completely freeze up your browser.
