There are lots of references to possible Growl implementations, but as far as I can tell, all of them require the user to install Growl and/or a Growl-enabled app to work.Twitter sends similar web notifications without asking the user for permission first, but requires the user's browser to be open to Twitter.The Web Notifications API works in Chrome/Firefox, but requires the user's browser to be open to X.Everyone else will see encrypted content, such as: Sample TitleBASE64ENCRYPTEDCONTENTHMAC. It relies on pre-shared keys between the peers so only the peers with the right passphrase will be able to see the encrypted message. Since OSX Mavericks, it has been possible to do this in Safari 7+ via Safari Push Notifications. Shhlack is an encryptor/decryptor to improve privacy in peer-to-peer messages in Slack created by Minded Security.I just spent the day digging into this, and so far I think I've learned: A solution that doesn't require any browser window to be open would also work. It's okay if the user needs to grant permission to receive notifications from X, and it's okay if the browser needs to be open for the notification to appear, as long as X doesn't need to be open in the browser. That means either after one minute of locking your desktop screen or 10 minutes of no. By default, you’ll receive notifications on the Slack mobile app only when you are inactive on the desktop. My goal is to send Gmail-style desktop notifications in Chrome or Firefox from a web app (let's call it X) that is NOT currently open in the browser, without requiring the user to install an app or extension. Unlike other apps, where you get notifications on both desktop and mobile irrespective of where you are active, Slack works slightly differently.
