Native wayland desktop notifications - a drop-in replacement for swaynag written in rust

waysay

waysay is a native wayland client for providing desktop notifications. It aims to be a drop in replacement for swaynag.

Usage

waysay --message "Hello, world!"

# add buttons to allow the user to trigger an action
waysay --message "Do it?" \
  --button "Yes" "echo 'I did it'" \
  --button "No" "echo 'I did not do it'"

To use waysay as a swaynag replacement, add the following line to your sway config:

swaynag_command waysay

waysay vs swaynag

Most users will be better off using swaynag. Use waysay if you are interested in using Rust to write native wayland clients, and/or you want to support the Rust wayland/GUI ecosystem.

Missing features

Several swaynag features have not yet been implemented:

• Display of detailed message
• configuration and theming

Overall waysay is quite rough around the edges at this point, although it is usable.
