core: add Notifications Support (#130) new feature, a flag for notifications -n / --notify. It's using the notify-send command line utility to send desktop notifications. By default I made it compatible with dunst (you will need to enable full markup in the dunst config) but it should work with other notification daemons too. 2025-06-10 19:39:45 +03:00
