Hey Daniel, Thank you for your fast answer. Too bad this isn't yet possible with Growl or Prowl. I understand that GNTP could offer such a similarity while running on my own server, but honestly to me it sounds like too much work right now to set this up. I already had a look at Boxcar in the past and do share your view. I guess I'll need to take a look at openpush.im or notify.io (the latter is said to be supported in GfW already).
