Description

It would be great if it was possible to store the notifications when receiving them (and clearing that state when closing them), so that restarting swaync (or rebooting) doesn't lose all unhandled notifications but instead lists them again.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement persistent storage for notification state. This likely involves saving notifications to a file (e.g., JSON or SQLite) on reception and loading them on startup. Ensure to clear state when notifications are closed. Consider using GTK's GSettings or a custom file format. Test with swaync restarts.
