Growl, meet Bark.
- se85 14y agoIs this anything more than a stop gap for growl until apps implement the new mountain lion notifications and mountain lion becomes as widespread as lion? Are there any other advantages at all to using growl with bark? (Or growl on its own for that matter) If you are a fan of the new notifications panel?
- hrbrmstr 14y agoI think it is indeed "just" a stop-gap but is also more of an alternative for folks who want to keep with the non-gate-kept ecosystem. The concept of Bark is cool, but I'm not keen on running code that injects at the level it does without it being open source and something I can inspect/build on my own.
- thoughtpeddler 14y agoHow does Bark compare to Hiss? http://collect3.com.au/hiss/ http://collect3.com.au/hiss/ Functionally, they seem identical.
- hrbrmstr 14y agoIt does code injection and is different primarily in that all Growl notifications show up as "Hiss" notifications in ML NC vs being unique sections that you an select and go to the app context with.
- thoughtpeddler 14y agoThanks. So this is the dominance chart now for ML notifications: Native NC > NC + Growl 2.0 > NC + Growl + Bark > NC + Growl + Hiss Since a lot of apps still exist outside of the App Store, Growl 2.0 can't come soon enough. Though the ideal case would be Apple loosening restrictions, but ... that's not going to happen anytime soon probably.
- hrbrmstr 14y agoAnnnnnddd… Bark is totally unnecessary now: http://growl.posterous.com/developers-growl-20-sdk-released http://growl.posterous.com/developers-growl-20-sdk-released
- thoughtpeddler 14y agoWhat's the anticipated release date for Growl 2.0 ?
