Research direction

The payload names no files, so start by searching the C source for where pass predictions compute AOS times and where the GTK3 UI could raise a desktop notification. Check whether the project already uses a notification API before adding one. Done means a system notification appears when a monitored satellite reaches AOS. The issue has no comments or maintainer answer after 1570 days, so confirm the request is still wanted before starting.

Description

Would it be possible to generate a system notification at AOS of satellites being monitored?
