show desktop notifications

[juliangruber]

• [x] show a notification when a dat has finished downloading
• [x] show a notification when a dat is done importing (shouldn't be necessary with sleep)
• [ ] show a notification when there is a 'new change available' (blocked by hyperdrive snapshots)
• [ ] click notification to see which files changed and maybe view preview (blocked by hyperdrive snapshots)

[juliangruber]

let myNotification = new Notification('Title', {
  body: 'Lorem Ipsum Dolor Sit Amet'
});

myNotification.onclick = () => {
  console.log('Notification clicked');
};

• [ ] archive finished downloading

depends on #23

I think archive finished downloading is a good start!

another one which we've talked about with users a lot is pretty complicated but would be a slam dunk:

1. download a dat
2. get a notification when there is a 'new change available'
3. click notification to see which files changed and maybe view preview
4. be able to manually roll back if automatic sync is on, or click to update to newest version if automatic sync is off (we need to see which is better to default)

sounds really cool, let's do this once we start implementing snapshots in the ui

removing this from 1.1.0 stabilize because its a feature

Changed the status on this because the "dat done downloading" feature can be implemented already; the other two are blocked by hyperdrive snapshots (which will land after SLEEP).

Also just updated the opening post to summarize what's discussed in the thread and make it actionable
