Why should you? Okay, don't. If OP gave you free beer would you spit it out over him and say it's too bitter?

That's a pretty bad metaphor. I am refusing OP's free beer, because I don't drink beer. I also question the need of giving away free alcohol. Instead, I take the free glass of water from the next guy.

Looks cool. But... 100+Mb for a notification app?

Yeah, unfortunately the app bundled with a Chrome. But, the upside is it's implemented in HTML/CSS/JavaScript and it's hackable :)

How is it 100 MB? RAM or disk space?

You should hit me up sometime. I'd love to party with you. /s
