Oh this would be awesome. For very long time I’ve been looking for an unintrusive way to receive important notifications on time. And since I almost always listen to music this would work well.



The search for a perfect notification system for a large org is like a chemical clock reaction, which swings back and forth between states of equilibrium.

No one in an org will ever be on the same page, as people work on different tasks.

Some tasks are repetitive and allow you to dip your attention in and out.

Other tasks might require deep thought (like composition and putting words to a document) where your thoughts and output can’t be mixed with the sound of others coming in.

It works for truckers/pilots because the input/output by workers is relatively the same and compatible with background “noise”, but this metaphor breaks down as soon as the type of work changes.
