  • Building an Availability Checker for Refurbished Steam Decks in Europe
    The Steam Deck Availability Checker is a Python script that automates the monitoring of stock availability from Steam’s store. It uses the ntfy notification service to alert users in real-time when a unit becomes available. - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
  • Show HN: Open-source private home security camera system (end-to-end encryption)
    The open source/degoogled alternative to that is UnifiedPush, did you take a look at this? https://unifiedpush.org/ https://ntfy.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • Revolutionizing Notifications with NTFY.sh: Use Cases, Benefits, and Best Practices
    We see that both of our containers are working and no restarting issues. So all looks good at first glance. Now we can move to the next step. We could now deploy NTFY container, but I would like to deploy a Portainer. Why? - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
  • UnifiedPush: A decentralized, open-source push notification protocol
    There is paid plans for extra message limits and other features: https://ntfy.sh/#pricing. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • Show HN: Ding Dong Doorbell – use a QR code as your doorbell
    The one thing I do not appreciate about this Show HN is that there is no repo linked. I do NOT want to install any apps, I just want to build something like this without becoming someone's customer... I guess my implementation would just be sending a notification to my phone on a messaging platform, or send an email. Maybe use https://ntfy.sh and the more generic app to get these notifications. - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago
  • Tinystatus: A tiny status page generated by a Python script
    Very nice. But for me the Tailscale dashboard fulfills this function, what would make this super usefully for me if it integrated with something like https://ntfy.sh and I could set conditions for notifications. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago
  • How I keep myself Alive using Golang
    Slightly related, but I've also been working on and off for a few years on my own Type 1 Diabetes management solution (https://github.com/algao1/iv3) to send alerts and such. I was thinking of eventually incorporating some kind of automatic remedial solution eventually to help keep my glucose in range, but haven't had any time to look into it yet. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • FBI using push notification tokens to identify anonymous users
    If you go to the settings, there should be a notification category, which then contains another menu "App Notifications" where you can see all the apps that are allowed to receive notifications, but I don't know if this will stop google play services to receive these identifiers. I use GrapheneOS, so I don't have any google play services running, but for the apps where I need notifications I use... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
    Kind of similar, in the early days of COVID, I accidentally discovered that my state's website would have test results available several hours before they sent out the "view your results" email. So I made a script that would check the site every five or ten minutes and then ping me as soon as the result changed to something besides PENDING. In the course of that I stumbled on https://ntfy.sh/ which solved the... - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Governments spying on Apple, Google users through push notifications
    I connect any app that supports https://unifiedpush.org/ to a self hosted https://ntfy.sh instance for fully self hosted push notifications. Source: over 1 year ago
  • It's this time of the year again... which open-source project are you donating to?
    Changedetection.io just donated to the awesome crew over at ntfy.sh. Source: over 1 year ago
  • 2U Quiet & Efficient DIY Server Build
    For further monitoring & alerting about critical cpu temperatures (unlikely now) for example, I plan to use notify & something else. Haven't thought about this much yet though. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Deno Cron
    I've started tossing https://ntfy.sh/ alerts into my Deno apps to get push notifications for things I'm interested in. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Show HN: An app store just for installable web apps
    Not sure if it's entirely similar, but there's also this for those who don't want to build it themselves: https://ntfy.sh/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Add extra stuff to a “standard” encoding? Sure, why not
    If it was for fun and to learn how, that's fair. But are you aware of https://ntfy.sh? - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • I built a Plane Spotter in 120 secs with ChatGPT
    I may be biased, but you should totally integrate ntfy.sh [1] support, so you get a push notification every time a plane passes over your house. I think that'd be a cool use case. Disclaimer: I am the maintainer of ntfy. [1] https://ntfy.sh. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Self Hosted Notification Service
    While I'm sure of Gotify and ntfy.sh, I'm not sure if Apprise will do the needful because on its github page(https://github.com/caronc/apprise) it lists all the paid and free notification services for integration so I'm assuming it is just a library like the one I integrated for my django api (onesignal library).

  • Ask HN: How do you monitor your systemd services?
    Uptime-Kuma [1] with ntfy [2]. Most of my services expose HTTP so I just have Uptime-Kuma monitor that. But if you have something that is not exposed to the public you can still use a "push" type monitor, and in a cron job on your server(s), send heartbeat to it when everything is working.

  • Ask HN: How do you monitor your systemd services?
    I love https://ntfy.sh/ for my services running on headless servers. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Match Thread: Brisbane vs West Coast (Round 17)
    Once you have installed the app you need to subscribe to a topic. The topic to subscribe to is 'AFL_Scores' and the server to use is 'https://ntfy.sh'. Source: over 1 year ago
