Hello Danny,

Desktop notifications is a pretty tedious process because your site needs to be on https and not only that, you would need to create the respective apps on Apple Developer (Safari) and Google (Chrome) before browser notifications can be activated

Hi Mark
Thanks for your reply (always a pleasure ;-))
Ya, I imagine it's not something that's coded in an hour ...
The thing is, it's amazingly important for the increased interaction it generates from the community that aren't always on the page per se.
It really should be something you consider seriously (in my opinion).

Thanks for the input on this Danny By the way, what sort of browser notifications are you looking at?

Ideally, user reply's to posts you've done or are tagged in

Maybe a Chrome app could solve this problem and maybe it is easier to make? Or maybe just a dektop programm that stays in the tray until a notification appears. I think just having the three symbols with the same notifications as on EasySocial would be amazing! In my opinion the addon being the nofitications module would be perfect. The cherry on top of the cream would be the stream in windows tray that opens when there is a new entry made to the stream, but I am afraid of having too many dreams.

I totally agree with Danny that it would be a big step forward since nowadays emails are pretty bad because most people just wipe them away or do not even care about emails or even worse, the mails go directly into spam folders...

I recall the team over at MyJoomla.com having this. Not sure if you know them ? Their solution has notifications but like you mention, i suspect the site needs to be opened. That would be cool too.
Thanks for your replies!
