    Send push notifications to your phone or desktop using PUT/POST

    If you choose "mytopic" as a topic, yes. If you choose "eximius-1", probably not. If you are paranoid, you can choose "ZfxdjfdkAFHFJKL" and then you have an "auth token".

    That said, auth is on the list of things to add. It'll be optional and I will try to make it simple. There's a ticket for it here [1]

  • ntfy

    🖥️📱🔔 A utility for sending notifications, on demand and when commands finish. (by dschep)

    Sadly no. I picked the name and bought the domain before I found out about it. When I found out I created a PR [1] to integrate the two. It's not been merged though.

    Given that I bought the domain and all that I'm kinda sticking with the name though.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • NPushOver

    Discontinued Full fledged, async, .Net Pushover client

    Push notifications are free and Twilio isn't, though SMS works if you have no internet connectivity. If you use something like Pushover (https://pushover.net/) you can customize alerts with different sounds, icons, etc. and you can send to multiple devices at once, not just your phone.

    Depending on how crowded your SMS app is, it might be advantageous to keep your less-important notifications in a separate app rather than mixed in with all your text conversations.

  • Gotify

    A simple server for sending and receiving messages in real-time per WebSocket. (Includes a sleek web-ui) (by gotify)

    Hello Philipp, what benefits do you think make the app shine against something like Gotify? It looks like you have integrated with firebase. What else should I be looking for? The firebase path looks interesting for my 'toy' messages so save some battery life.

  • NotificationCron

    Notification Cron is a straightforward tool to schedule recurring notifications on your phone without adding calendar entries

  • Notica

    Send browser notifications from your terminal. No installation. No registration.

    Nice work, Philipp! I wrote something similar at: https://notica.us

    I didn't write an app, however. I rely on the browser notification API which doesn't have the best support on mobile unfortunately. It works great on desktop.

    My inspiration was the same though. I do most of my work over ssh, and wanted a local desktop notification when a slow command was finished running.

  • t0txt

    txt.t0.vc - command line pastebin

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • pcopy

    pcopy is a temporary file host, nopaste and clipboard across machines. It can be used from the Web UI, via a CLI or without a client by using curl.

  • goreleaser

    Deliver Go binaries as fast and easily as possible

    Thanks, that's what I was going for, hehe.

    I was inspired by the docs of the fantastically awesome GoReleaser [1] tool, so half the credit goes to them :-D
