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

  • You have perfectly captured my intention. :-) ntfy is supposed to be simple simple simple.

    E2E stands in the way in many ways. I have implemented crypto formats and such in the past, and the lack of a standard in this space is really blocking wide spread adoption and interoperability IMHO. That said, I have proposed a design here (https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/69#issuecomment...) that I have already partially implemented, and that seems easy enough to implement in many languages. But it definitely won't be the one-liner anymore.

  • Gotify

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

  • I was adding a new application (i.e. a topic) to on my own instance today. Gotify is Go binary to run with very little configuration. It has an Android app to get somewhat realtime notifications on the phone. Probably an iOS one too. It also has a pretty extensive REST API to manage the instance and a management web app.

  • 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.

  • app

    Think fearlessly with end-to-end encrypted notes and files. For issues, visit https://standardnotes.com/forum or https://standardnotes.com/help.

  • > But personally - I don't really find your point sensible. You have no use-case, you have no threat model [...]

    My point is very clear and simple: all private communication on the internet should be E2E encrypted, unless there is a good reason not to.

    > [...] say "if they are doing it, it must be easy" - Ignoring that they are literally using the difficulty of doing it as the distinguishing factor for their product.

    I am not claiming that it's easy, but it's not rocket science either. There have been many open-source projects launched with E2E encryption by default in the past few years – https://standardnotes.com/ is a good example.

  • receiver

    Relay Receiver is a React library that makes it easy to add Web3 messaging to your website.

  • Look for an email from [email protected] :) I'm building https://github.com/relaycc/receiver, and we're hiring.

  • rqlite

    The lightweight, distributed relational database built on SQLite.

  • rqlite[1] author here, happy to answer any questions about if it helps.

    rqlite will give you HA, but won't help with load (rqlite replicated for reliability, not for write performance). But I like to think the it'll give you solid HA. Replicated just swapped replaced their use of Postgres with rqlite for this reason[2].
