nofi: An interruption-free notification system for Linux

https://github.com/ellsclytn/nofi

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.

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.
