Show HN: Mountain Growl - Growl plugin for Mountain Lions Notification Center

I did mention Hiss in the Readme but didn't go into much detail what I didn't like about it. Growl was build from the beginning with a plugin API to support different display styles. Why should someone replace the entire Growl app just to enable one display style?

With MountainGrowl you keep full Growl support (remote notifications, e-mail, Prowl, ....) and you get the integration with Mountain Lion.

Hey, I believe Hiss does not require Growl installed to redirect notifications. But this requires Growl to be installed, right? So one solution is free and the other isn't.

That's the bummer, you're right.

Unfortunately there's no official API to feed in the app icon. But since we're on the desktop, there might be some other ways to go. You can rest assured that I've not yet given up on this :)

I created an issue to collect ideas on how to work around/ hack the app icon: https://github.com/stigi/MountainGrowl/issues/1

Websites can ask for your permission to send you notifications, which will also show up in the notification center.

So if gmail added those changes it would be possible for gmail to notify you of new email without you opening your browser.

Did you see https://github.com/stigi/MountainGrowl#installation ?

Basically if you have Growl 1.4 installed you just need to double click the (one) file that extracts from the zip. Then select it as your default style in the Growl settings.
