It’s possible Apple independently arrived at a design for how to present iOS notifications that just happened to resemble growl in every way... but it’s not likely. Growl was so pervasive before macOS notifications that it’s inconceivable to me that developers at Apple weren’t presenting it as a proven model.

Uh huh. This is ignoring that notifications were present in webOS, Android, Windows 7, and so on. Or were those able to independently arrive at the exact same design of a toast popup, and Apple uniquely owes the provenance of their toast popup to Growl?

Growl existed before webOS, Android, and Windows 7.

Windows have system tray balloon tips since Windows 2000. Or even earlier

What is your point? Is Growl responsible for all notification implementations post 2003?

Wow, everyone is so fucking combative and contrarian the last few days. Chill out, that's not what I was saying.

It seems to be exactly what you're saying?
