🚀 notihub v1.2.0

Release Title: v1.2.0 - WhatsApp Icon Fix & Dedicated Homebrew Tap

🌟 Highlights

  • 🖼️ Sharper WhatsApp icon: the WhatsApp preset now uses the bundled hand-drawn SVG instead of Google's favicon service, which only ever returns a blurry 16×16 placeholder globe for web.whatsapp.com.
  • 🍺 Dedicated Homebrew tap: notihub now installs from its own tap, thuong180702/homebrew-notihub, instead of a raw Cask URL pointed at this repo.

🛠️ Detailed Changelog

🖼️ WhatsApp preset uses the bundled icon

  • Every other preset in src/presets.js fetches its favicon live via Google's favicon API, which is preferred over a bundled asset for accuracy. WhatsApp is the one exception: web.whatsapp.com has no real favicon registered (404s to a generic placeholder), and the whatsapp.com root only has a 23×23 icon — worse than the bundled SVG in every case.
  • No user action needed; the fix applies automatically on next launch.

🍺 Homebrew install simplified

  • Added a proper tap repo, homebrew-notihub, holding Casks/notihub.rb.
  • Removed the now-redundant Casks/notihub.rb from this repo.
  • Install is now: 
    brew tap thuong180702/notihub
brew install --cask notihub

⚠️ Gatekeeper Notice

notihub is signed ad-hoc, not notarized by Apple. macOS will refuse to open it with "notihub is damaged and can't be opened" on first launch — this isn't corruption, it's Gatekeeper rejecting an unnotarized app. Clear the quarantine flag once:
