Description

Here's a proof of concept for Atom's notifications that get rid of the spammy user experience of Atom's notifications. It would be cool to render Vim's :messages log in this manner:

Research direction
Investigate the existing notifications system in Oni and how Vim's :messages are currently handled. The issue references an external proof of concept from Atom; review that to understand the expected behavior. The main challenge is implementing a non spammy notification display for the :messages log. Start by exploring the source code related to notifications and the Vim bridge.
