Run custom scripts on notifications matching a specified pattern. Have espeak read out your notifications, or play a song when your significant other signs on in pidgin!
Change the look or behavior of notifications matching a specified pattern. You could use this to change the color of message notifications from your favorite jabber buddies, or to prevent important work email notifications from disappearing until you manually dismiss them.
If you want to take a break and not receive any notifications for a while, just pause dunst. All notifications will be saved for you to catch up later.
Catch an unread notification disappearing from the corner of your eye? Just tap a keyboard shortcut to replay the last notification, or continue tapping to see your notification history.
Most documentation can be found in dunst's man pages. In dunst(1) contains some general instructions on how to run dunst and in dunst(5) all of dunst's configuration options are explained.
On the dunst wiki you can find guides and installation instructions and on the dunst website there is a FAQ with common issues.
Dunst is available in many package repositories. If it's not available in your distro's repositories, don't worry, it's not hard to build it yourself.
