Description Michael Catanzaro 2022-05-12 08:46:11 PDT

Currently WPE has no support for desktop notifications.

GTK supports desktop notifications via libnotify, but this library has been deprecated for a very long time. We should switch to GNotification. This will finally support WPE, too.

So I tried this today, but turns out the API is very awkward to use. Patrick suggests using the notifications portal D-Bus API directly. It's probably a smarter approach.
