Global Notifcations

If you'd like to have a callback after a notification is posted, listen for events from com.zerobased.notifly.

For example:

// subscribe to notifly
[[NSDistributedNotificationCenter defaultCenter]
     addObserver:self
     selector:@selector(myListenerSelector:)
     name:@"com.zerobased.notifly"
     object:nil];

The notification object will contain the name of the event that was sent. Examples include publish, list, and, remove.

Planned

• fix listing and json serialization
• wrap in a rubygem
