Sadly I suspect you’re right about this.

Aside from the `discourse-chat-integration` plugin, I really like the idea of sending ‘actual’ facebook notifications from Discourse, something that was touched on here:

[https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/services/appnotifications](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/games/services/appnotifications) It looks fairly simple to use. I expect the difficult bit would be handling the authentication, or extending the scope of the authentication if the user has already “logged in with Facebook”.

I wonder whether @joebuhlig or @brunoedigital got anywhere with the idea?

It’s something I might be interested in developing for my community (and open sourcing, of course), but that won’t be for a while.
