Growl: notification system for the Mac
December 31st, 2004
I fired up my handy Cyberduck and discovered, among the new version’s features, Growl!. Growl is a centralized notification system for Mac OS X, so that any app that needs to do popup notification can do so in a consistent way. Nice idea, and they provide bindings for several languages. (BSD-licensed as well, so go ahead and use it!)
Growl is quite cool. They even have AppleScript support, which can come in handy.
I used Growl via a Mail.app AppleScript at a development sprint so that every time an svn commit message hit the list, I would get a nice Growl notification so I knew to svn up.
