You can probably achieve a good subset of its functionality in bash, it's just a nicer interface with a lot of configurability and several convenience features.
I'm generally a big fan of showing alternatives: https://github.com/Nukesor/pueue/?tab=readme-ov-file#similar...
Would you be willing to write a proper guide on how to do all of these things in bash? It would be great to have such a guide inside the Pueue wiki and link to it. It'll help people to make a more informed decision on whether they need this tool or not.
In Sequential and parallel execution of long-running shell commandsWell, if you're planning on running 10 commands sequentially that might take a few hours each, you would have to keep those windows open for quite a while.

In Sequential and parallel execution of long-running shell commandsThis question has been asked quite a lot, so I wrote a FAQ ;D :

There are a lot of examples and a FAQ section + a Wiki, if you're interested in more information why one might need such a tool.
