First off, this looks great! It has a simple interface and could compliment some simple projects very well.

However, this quote, "If you run a Redis server and currently use Amazon SQS or a similar message queue you might as well use this fast little replacement" is greatly over simplifying things.

Amazon SQS gives you acknowledgement guarantees that are not possible with Redis. Don't get me wrong, I love Redis, but you can't reliably trust that writes happen.
