Instead of watching the +terminal until it completes, or flipping back to check on it every so +often, we can create a listener that displays a popup notification when +the job finishes. + +In one terminal run the listener: + + que pub/notify --then "notify-send '\que' '\msg'" + +In some other terminal run the job that takes forever: + + runtests ; echo "tests are done" | que pub/notify - + +When terminal 2 succeeds, terminal 1 will print "tests are done", then +call the `notify-send` command, which displays a notification toast in +Linux with title "`pub/notify`" and content "`tests are done`". + +Que paths are multi-producer and multi-consumer, so you can add as many +terminals as you want. + +On macOS you could use: + + osascript -e 'display notification "\msg" with title "\que"' + +in place of notify-send. + +## Ephemeral, serverless chat rooms + +coming soon + +## Collaborative jukebox + +It's surprisingly easy to make a collaborative jukebox. + +First start up a music player: + + que --poll pub/music --then "playsong '\msg'" + +where `playsong` is a script that plays a file from data streaming to +`stdin`.
