CRAN Archived: Is this package deprecated? [Answer: No, still maintained]
On https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/notifier/ it says:
Archived on 2017-03-02 as requested by the maintainer ...
What was the reason for this? Should I consider this package deprecated?
It needs an external tool on macos, and this needs fixing. It is not deprecated.
Great. Thxs

This issue may be old and maybe it is deprecated now, but since it is still open, here my 2 cents.
As of July 2020, the package is still archived on CRAN and I could not install it from Github (remotes::install_github("gaborcsardi/notifier@x") did not work).
However, remotes::install_version("notifier", "1.0.0") worked perfectly, and the example from the ReadMe worked as well on my computer (Win10 build 17763 with R 3.6.3).
Why not publish on CRAN with a "WIP" warning/.rror thrown if Sys.info()['sysname'] returns something macosy?
Otherwise, you might want to change the ReadMe to state how to install on other OS, this package is a hidden gem that really deserves to shine :-)
