It looks cool but why are you popping up a giant box in front of my face? That HAS to violate some sort of User Experience. If it doesn't I am going to say it violates mine .

That's only one of the possible themes. Try the libnotify one. It's just a small box in the corner.
Also, I noticed that only one notification is visible at a time. It would be nice to be able to chain notifications to have more than just one visible notification.

I'm sure that this is a really well implemented piece of code. However, just as a personal preference (this is not a flame or attack, just some feedback), I think a site using this would be a site I'd stop using. I find the dialog really annoying because the effect of blocking user input in order to display some sort of message seems really inhumane to me. There are better ways to do notifications without pushing a b…
That's a theme, try the libnotify one instead.
Out of 12 comments on here, 2 are already about disliking the initial "big text box" example.
They should make lib notify the first one, and try to get some additional themes that showcase it. The 3 that are there are pretty simple and two are big annoying textboxes.

Also, the notifications behave strange when hovering over them with the mouse... they shrink onhover, then on the next hover they dismiss.
This is on Chromium 15.
Not saying this or any other implementation is bad and you shouldn't use it, but why does hacker news get so excited every time one of these shows up?
I gotta admit I'm confused why these things are popular on hacker news. I've written several "growl" notification tools, usually I just re-write it on top of whatever ui toolkit the project is using rather than try to use a library. It takes less than 20 minutes to write one sufficient for whatever your use case is, and it works exactly how you need it to. Not saying this or any other implementation is bad and you sh…
My experience with websites that queue up notifications (the old thesixtyone.com) is that you sort of pause, sit there, and wait for them to finish up so you see what they say. A better experience is for them to stack up in the corner so you can read them, then click them away once you're done.
Design wise, the default is pretty obtrusive.
Nice library though. Thanks.
