Decided to spruce up fnott just a tiny bit; I'm working on adding:
* XDG activation support (sending a token back to the notifying application)
* dismiss and trigger default action at the same time (will be the new default for left clicking, and a new fnottctl command)
* x-canonical-private-synchronous hint support (alternative to replacing a notification with e.g notify-send's --replace-id)

A number of people suggested 'fyi', and I decided to go with that.

Sigh, hedwig *will* be renamed to something else. Something that doesn't already exist.
Haven't decided what yet; it's surprisingly hard to find a meaningful name that isn't already in use...

Hedwig it is, for now. Available at
https://codeberg.org/dnkl/hedwig
Status: it works, and code quality isn't _too_ bad... could definitely use some cleanup.
* No documentation, yet.
* Name _may_ change.
* Output format may change.
* Syntax may change.
If the above doesn't deter you; I've spent roughly 4-6 hours on this so far. Expect bugs.

Ended up writing my own notify-send after all.
Written in C.
Depends on dbus only (i.e not libnotify).
Supports everything notify-send and dunstify combined supports.
What's a good name for it (if I decide to publish it)?

There's an open PR for #neovim to add support for the new private mode 2048 - in-band window resize notifications.
If done properly, this _should_ get rid of all size mismatches between neovim and the terminal window, when, for example, starting neovim together with the terminal (i.e. terminal-app -e nvim) on, say, a tiling VM.
Lets hope more applications adopt this!
And yes, #foot has support for mode 2048 (master branch, not yet released).

Suggestions for terminal applications that make use of styled and colored underlines I can test in #foot ?
Would love to hear about something *other* than syntax errors in LSP...

What's the idiomatic way, in #voidlinux, to install software from versioned controlled sources? That is, building "latest main/master"rather than a specific release?
Something similar to "foo-git" AUR packages.
As far as I can tell, xbps doesn't really support this use case (though I hope I'm wrong, and have missed something obvious)?
So what do people do?
