Question: can I also use userInfo in the notification? #4

You say sandboxed applications cannot use "userInfo". Does this apply to both the recipient and the sender or just one of them? If I am not sandboxed (as a sender), can I use "userInfo" (and Compliment will pick it up)?

You have to use the notification's object -- that's only place Compliment currently looks for it. This is to keep things simple on both sides.

Agree with that.

Now I am stuck with how to get the "description" for the dictionary in a Python script (just started Python ten minutes ago, so I guess this is not a real problem). http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14471626/create-nsdictionary-from-python-dictionary

It seems to me that I could flattr anything through Compliment, not just apps, by just firing off those Notifications. Think iTunes plays via MusicBrainz etc.
