You can add this to the README

Thanks for sharing. This looks quite similar to how you install any application on Linux, may I ask what was the most unintuitive part of the installation?

the part where I had to research where to put service files and what value XDG_CONFIG_HOME was ^^

also, the notification has no icon, it's a bit ugly

I think this belongs to wiki, as location of systemd files and XDG environment variables aren't really something this project decides 😊 Feel free to create a page on wiki though, it's fully editable by anyone!

The notification is a demo, and you'll see both in other closed issues and maybe on wiki that the preferred approach is to build your own notification mechanism - it's very easy!

Hi @maximbaz
Thank you for your nice comment !
I am currently crowded with work, so it's best if you can create the wiki page and I can review and do adjustments if needed
Keeping this open so it's done one day by myself or somebody :)

I should make an article on my blog 😄
Totally forgot about this issue.

FYI: I did open a MR to update the package on Alpine Linux.
See: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/merge_requests/59741

Are you aware that some platforms do not build ?

arch="all !armhf !armv7 !x86"  # fails to build

[williamdes]

Edit: the new version seems to build on all arches 🎉
