I wanted to improve my Rust knowledge a bit and solve how I approach notifications, so I made nofi.

nofi is a desktop notification server, but instead of delivering realtime popups, it stores the notifications for you to view when you choose via a Rofi menu. It can also integrate with i3status-rust to show a pending notification count in your status bar.

It's inspired by Rofication (the status bar integration follows the exact same protocol for drop-in compatibility).

This really needs a screen recording of it in action.

Fair point, I've updated the readme now.

I am building a new rice on hyprland. I'll try this one out.

you can configure mako to not show notifications and it will keep a history of them as well. not to discredit your project but makes me wonder if something like this can be built with some bash scripting :)

I really like the idea of notifications without interruption. Thank you.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
