Installation

The best way to install, if you have cargo installed, is through that:

$ cargo install timepiece # add `--features notify` if you want desktop notifs

Non-features:

• Background/invisible timers/alarms (make a shim, possibly)
  • This is because there don't seem to be any cross-platform fork libraries
• Configuration of any sort (edit the source, not to sound like suckless)
