[PMunch]

I forgot that I had made a tiny modification to that library locally to get this to work. I'll make a PR to them, and in the meantime tag this repository to use my branch.

[licoricee]

oh, i fixed it by just switching to nim 1.4.8 on choosenim

[licoricee]

wait, it compiles but it doesnt activate when i use something like notify-send

[licoricee]

my mistake that was becaus dunst was running

[PMunch]

Just pushed a fix that will make it compile on 1.6.6 as well. And yes, if something else is already bound to the dbus then you won't get notifications.
