HikkiNotify - Desktop Notifications



ThomasPink is working on HikkiNotify. HikkNotify is an app allowing users to receive notifcations via a Desktop alert.
ThomasPink has ready-made versions for Mac OS and Linux. Windows releases are unknown.


 Quoted from ThomasPink:
This is a quick Perl script I put together this morning quickly, which displays notifications on my desktop when new posts are made on HC. Clicking on a notification opens the thread in a new tab in my browser, and if the post quotes me (i.e. if it's replying to one of my own posts), then it will play a longer alert sound, and stay on the desktop until I've clicked it away.

Currently it's only available for Mac OS X, but porting it to the major Linux distributions would be quite trivial with libnotify. I don't want to begin thinking about porting it to Windows.
