I don't think dang likes it when you fuck with "Show HN" like this(1).

I guess you should remove the Show Hn part from the title.

Now we just need an app that generates these notifications while screensharing!

The app terminal-notifier[0] is pretty handy for bash scripts and cron jobs...

This is obviously made for people with much more exciting lives than me.

Gene is living it up.

I always feel insecure what things will show up in auto-complete in browser address bar during my live demos.

Auto-completion of history is something I find annoying to start with. Firefox actually has the great option of removing history from auto-complete, leaving things like open tabs and bookmarks.

Auto-completing bookmarks and not history creates a nice little incentive to bookmark stuff you care about, too.

That will be Muzzle’s second product :D

Same. That’s why I don’t use my main browser when showing it to others. Chrome has multiple profiles for a reason.

If I had to screenshare regularly I’d definitely have a whole dedicated OS profile.

I just have two Chrome profiles. One for work, one for personal.

Oh, you still get auto-complete in incognito mode.

Maybe the solution is to use a different OS user or browser user dedicated for demo purposes.

If you hold the option key whilst clicking the notifications icon on the far right of the menu, you enable Do Not Disturb. This generally does the same thing for meetings, screen sharing etc.

Thanks! I just learned something new now.

To clarify: if you just click, the pane slides in from the right. On my system there's a toggle DO NOT DISTURB (in all caps).

However if you option-click, you toggle directly and the notifications icon switches between being grayed out or not.

True story -- I got hired at a startup, and sometime within my first few days we went into a team meeting. The Chief Product Officer plugs his computer in to present, and Slack is up, showing his direct conversation with HR regarding my salary. Team lead saw that I had been brought on for more than him and quit. Many others threatened to quit, and they had to give a lot of raises. I guess it wasn't a notification but easily could have been.

I don't live a life that will put me in a position to be embarrassed by notifications (at least not like on the site), but there is nevertheless a real business need for privacy that is not related to what some might call immoral behavior. I think to expand the reach of this product you might need to take that angle. If Muzzle is meant only to handle embarrassing notifications, I believe it will become embarrassing to have it/be using it. Just my 2 cents.

That's why they have a toggle to hide the toolbar icon.

Source: I'm a user.

I mean, being secretive about employee compensation in order to extract the most work for the least cost is exploitative and immoral. It's just something that everyone does, so somehow that makes it okay.

Alright, this is pretty good.

I typically just go into DND mode, so I'm not sure what the point of this app is, but cute landing page.

I think the point is not having to remember to go in to DND mode.

Man, I wish my life was that exciting. I might get a message from my girlfriend, “what is for dinner?”

With my new SAAS intrig.ue, you can schedule intriguing notifications. Impress your coworkers. Your friends. Your parents. Your hot date. The asshole peeking over your shoulder at the coffee shop. intrig.ue.

Excellent. You should have different premade profiles like SexyMysteriousCool, LovingCharitableResponsible, FunPopularWanted, HasACutePuppy so users don't need to plan how to look interesting.

I can't access this URL — what am I doing wrong?

I think he is trolling us :D

Mission accomplished. I thought based on the other comment that it was real. It reminded me of the first app I ever bought for my iPhone: Fake Calls. You could set a timer and then make your phone ring a few minutes later. Very useful when I had to go ask a quick question of a talkative colleague!

Could be better if all the notifications vanished as soon as you hit download.

This is brilliant. The simple solution though, is - don’t sign into personal account in a corporate device!

^ This. I try to keep corporate device strictly corporate. No personal sign-in to any service.

When you're screen sharing, you could receive company notifications that you don't want everyone.

Firstly, you don't necessarily coworkers to see some notifications. A manager might not want underlings to see their notifications, for instance, like that such and such is going to be laid off.

Secondly, who says the screencast is always for coworkers? You don't want a client or investor to see internal company notifications.

So, yes, there is a use case for suppressing notifications even if you have no personal logins.

Some of those messages looked like they were from co-workers :P

Even fellow colleagues can send embarrassing notifications on work related accounts. "I can't believe they don't understand such a simple concept" is not something you want appearing in a message addressed to you from a co-worker.

I've seen my fair share of embarrassing messages show up from Microsoft Teams when someone else in my corporation is screen sharing.

I only have one computer, my work laptop and I use it for everything.

I clicked through to CodeKit and then looked at what was included and saw, "Neat". My heart skipped a beat that they included my simple unknown framework. Then I dug deeper and found "the other Neat". Uhg, it's impossible not to name collide these days. I tried searching for others at the time and didn't find any...

Anyways, NeatCSS is my minimalist CSS framework.

OMG I LOVE IT. I love how they re-create the absolutely annoying nature of getting notifications one after another. Absolutely brilliant.

I wish I was important enough for this to be a problem for me /s

I was a very happy Codekit user way back in my undergrad days when I hand coded html landing pages as a side hustle. Glad to see Bryan is still making useful, well-marketed apps

This is amazing. I don't own a Mac, and I don't get those kinds of messages, yet I still want to buy it.

Me too, but apparently it's free.

this post feels kinda shill, i can't downvote so i'll express myself this way.

Don't think it's a shill but it's definitely not a ShowHN since it's not OP's creation

Good point, I didn’t think of that.

I have no affiliation whatsoever, just thought it was of interest to HN as a brilliant little piece of digital marketing.

This is a brilliant sales page. A landing page isn't quite the same thing.

those notifications are hilarious XD
