Not familiar with either project, but it seems gue is a fork of the authors previous project, https://github.com/bgentry/que-go

Yes, there's a note in the readme to that effect although I don't think they bear much resemblance anymore. que-go was an experiment I hacked up on a plane ride 9 years ago and thought was worth sharing. I was never happy with its technical design: holding a transaction for the duration of a job severely limits available use cases and worsens bloat issues. It was also never something I intended to continue developing alongside my other priorities at the time and I should have made that clearer in the project's readme from the start.
