Add support for displaying notifications when a host is detected. ~~The Notifications API should be used for this~~, and an optional sound should be played on host detection.

This should either be an opt-in or opt-out feature, as some users could be annoyed by it.

The Notifications API is quite limited, as it requires HTTPS and not all major browsers support it¹. What I actually meant when creating this issue was to implement some kind of in-app notification system (as opposed to device notifications). This way, if a user has the page tab/window unfocused, the web app would update its title to append the number of unread in-app notifications (e.g., Lanbassador (2)). Focusing on the page would clear all unread notifications.
