macOS' notification badges provide an intuitive way to indicate to the user that some new and important piece of information is available without being too overbearing or intrusive. It would be great if Gridsync could employ a similar but more general/cross-platform mechanism for signalling the presence of new/important information to the user -- for example, that an unread "newscap" message has arrived from the storage provider (or, later, perhaps, that a software update is available).
