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).

I hadn't planned on that specifically. An idea that's been in the back of my mind is to allow the configuration file be used to let users decide what command gets run, and with what arguments, so that you could use pretty much anything as the UI.
