Hello everyone, I created an Emacs-independent (doesn't require Emacs to be running) agenda notification app. I tested it under Doom Emacs and vanilla Emacs, and it worked fine, please try it and report any possible issues at GitHub. Thanks!
i don't use org-agenda but i was looking at you code and you may want to use fsnotify instead of a timer that may use more CPU than it should:

Running command when file is written to drive
I think you can try fsnotify altrough you will need Go do build the cmd part. Once built you can attach it folder and pipe output to other command.

When to run arbitrary/shell commands in go program.
Why not one of the native Go file watching libs (e.g. fsnotify/notify/etc)? In general you're much more likely to get better control over behaviour from native code than from shelling out.

Hot reloading in Go applications
Modd is a library that makes hot reloading possible in Go applications. To use it, install it on your machine using the command below:
- Implement auto-reload after update

Ask HN: Can I see your scripts?
There's also modd[0] which allows for many file watch pattern -> command combos to easily be defined & run simultaneously from a modd.conf file.

Hot reload in golang
i was using cortesi/modd for this while using docker. Since I change to Rancher with dockerd i wasn’t able to get live reloading working again, i also tried air but no luck.. out of curiosity did anyone have a similar issue?

Live Reload in Go with Air
Interesting. I've been using https://github.com/cortesi/modd for this for a while but I'll check this project out.
- Ask HN: What developer tools would you like to see?
- Live previewing LaTeX document?
- docker-compose without dockers

Live Reloading in Golang using Air
me likes: https://github.com/cortesi/modd A little more flexible for various files

We don’t use a staging environment
I use a somewhat similar approach for Pirsch [0]. It's build so that I can run it locally, basically as a fully fledged staging environment. Databases run in Docker, everything else is started using modd [1]. This has proven to be a good setup for quick iterations and testing. I can quickly run all tests on my laptop (Go and TypeScript) and even import data from production to see if the statistics are correct for real data. Of course, there are some things that need to be mocked, like automated backups, but so fare it turns out to work really well.
You can find more on our blog [2] if you would like to know more.
