Tool for displaying notification popups for team or problem subscriptions #10

As an analyst, you're assigned a number of teams and problems to watch. Since this typically means keeping track of multiple browser tabs, an interesting event might not be seen immediately. It would be helpful with a tool that displays "libnotify" popups to speed things up.

This tool doesn't necessarily need to run locally, since notifications can usually be forwarded over SSH (e.g. by connecting with ssh -X and setting DISPLAY=:0).

You might want to use browser notfications instead.

@meisterT Sounds good, but I have to say that I'm unfamiliar with this technology, and I've been googling for a while without being able to figure out what they are. I guess you're not talking about popup notifications, since they appear in the browser. I assume you're talking about web notifications, which doesn't seem to have stabilized given that the latest specification was released the day before you wrote your comment. ;)

Still good advice, though. I'll have to read up on them.
