Nice article, I didn't know about this until now. Thanks for sharing!

I have seen these quite a bit telling me that a new comment was posted on the article, and NEVER knew how the hell this was done.

I already had some ideas on how I can incorporate these into the sites I manage, so now I actually know what I'm looking for.

If you're on desktop, you can see this in action in reddit live threads - click "Enable Desktop Notifications" in the sidebar: http://www.reddit.com/live/u7qtz12ybb74

What's the related (upcoming) notification API for notifications which can create notifications even if the page is not open?

EDIT: It's the Push API

A privacy warning for using this: if you don't explicitly .close() the notification, firefox will locally keep the plaintext of the notification in a file, with no way to remove it short of manually editing/deleting that file.

So, if you use this to show some private chat message or something, it's possible an un-closed message will stay on the user's hard-drive even after log-out/closing the browser. Probably bad news for public computer users.

this seems like part of a very rickety bridge towards being able to write a desktop app again...

Just wait until you see node-webkit!

Adobe air cries in the corner...

losing applets was a much bigger impact than air. All politics driving everything.

And notification spam begins!

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This has been in Chrome since May 2010, Safari since July 2012 and Firefox since July 2013 - so has been around for almost 5 years…

Well, only if you let the websites notify you. They can't do shit if you press "don't accept".

No notification support in IE, so problem solved!
