Show HN: Receive desktop notifications from your web apps

That's cool, if you happen to have the web app open. With Noti, the app just runs all the time (out of the way) and lets you receive messages at any time.
Nice! Thanks for pointing that out.
Cool concept, but even using Zapier, I can't find any of the things I'd actually like to be notified about.
To provide a couple easy examples, I want notifications for time-wasting sites like reddit and facebook so that I spend less time visiting those sites to check for notifications. In the case of facebook, I want to know about anything that triggers a notification, or about incoming messages. On reddit, I want to be notified about a comment reply, PM, mod mail or new modqueue item.

Interesting, could you shed some light on the tech behind this?
For example, does this use a custom solution to display notifications or Growl / ML notifications?
On Mountain Lion, we use the Notification Centre by default although you can opt to use Growl if you would prefer. In Lion, only Growl is available (obviously) :)

And are you poling the noti server? I'm wondering how realtime it is :-)
This looks really useful. Do you have plans to monetize it?
No immediate plans for this, no. We developed the app for use in our own apps (namely, http://sirportly.com) but thought we'd share the awesomeness :)
