I guess you can have virtual function keys as well as buttons for specific terminals. It depends how locked down the SDK is - knowing Apple it'll probably become more extensible as time goes on. I imagine that when IDEs can integrate with it, you'll be able to get some pretty nice features.

You can also show stuff like CI status, notifications for IMs, etc.

Here's the thing though:

How is that any better or different than notifications that already exist on your system?

GitLab has web browser notifications that trigger on CI builds.

Literally every instant messaging service has notification systems that work on the OS.

What is the added benefit of putting it off of the main screen and on a small 1" tall screen where you have your hands?
