This week’s issue of newsletter - #OpenSourceDiscovery covered… ntfy.sh

A simple HTTP-based pub-sub service to send notifications to your phone or desktop via scripts from any computer

🛠 Stack: Go, Javascript, FCM, Amazon SES, UnifiedPush

👑 Author: Philipp C. Heckel

💖 What I like:

Easy self-hosting thanks to plenty of installation options and minimal configurations required to get started
Ability to attach files to notifications enables a huge number of use cases for this service

👎 What I dislike:

Good for personal use case (when I as an end-user want to get notifications) but better tools are available for developer use case (when I want to send notifications from my app to users at scale)
