im not holding you back. you may go and buy a system that pops up requesters on your computer if you want. fine. its a free world;)
The important subtlety if RingHio notifications is that they are *not* requesters, they require no interaction, if you ignore them they go away. The most useful case I have for them is notification of emails arriving in YAM.
Second most useful is completion of a project compileing.
You can however click on them and be taken straght to the app that was notifying you.
