@mntmn shiny! Can you use backlight as indication? Eg. '#' turns red if you have unread messages on IRC, and green when someone DMs/pings you?
@wolf480pl that's a cool idea!
@wolf480pl @mntmn And lots of flashing when the battery is about to die!
The OLED is another prime candidate for these sort of notifications. @vkoskiv is working on something called refmon which allows doing this easily as a daemon.
