Hello Haskellers!

I’m excited to share the MVP release of **PGQueuer-hs** , a PostgreSQL-powered job queue. If you want robust background workers without adding external dependencies like Redis or RabbitMQ to your stack, this might be for you.

# Key Features

- **Postgres Native:** It leverages PostgreSQL’s native `LISTEN`/`NOTIFY` channels. Your existing database is fast enough!

- **Seamless Interop:** It is 100% compatible with the Python `pgqueuer` library. You can safely enqueue jobs from Python into your Haskell worker and vice versa.

# Background & Roadmap

I use the Python version of pgqueuer at work and think it’s brilliant, so I decided to bring the same ecosystem to Haskell.

This is currently an early MVP release and the API might shift. The underlying database logic is currently backed by postgresql-simple. In the future, I plan to build out an adapter pattern to support other popular Haskell Postgres libraries.

I would love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any suggestions you have for the roadmap!
