• Anthropic reset everyone's Claude limits. I found out 5 hours late

  I didn't want another app. I wanted a push notification that says "limits got reset, go use them". Turns out you can get pretty far with three public feeds and ntfy.sh, which is a free push service that needs no account:. - Source: dev.to / 22 days ago

• My homelab stack in 2026: what runs, why, and how it all connects

  Ntfy is the thread that ties the whole async event model together. It's a self-hosted push notification server. HTTP POST to a topic, and every subscribed client gets a notification. Woodpecker sends build results here. WUD sends image update alerts here. Home Assistant sends automation notifications here. Having one place where things send notifications means I can manage subscriptions in one app and stop... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago

• Ask HN: What are tools you have made for yourself since the advent of AI

  I wrote NerdCalci (https://github.com/vishaltelangre/NerdCalci), a free calculator app for Android. Besides, I made a lot of automation scripts (mostly using Ruby) that run on my raspberry pi to fetch/parse/crunch things and notify me on my Android phone through a self-hosted https://ntfy.sh server. - Source: Hacker News / about 2 months ago

  Https://docs.anthropic.com/en/docs/claude-code/hooks-guide And use something like ntfy to get notifications on your phone: https://ntfy.sh/ I’ve also seen people assign Claude code issues on GitHub and then use the GitHub mobile app on their phone to get notifications and review PRs. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• The EU could be scanning your chats by October 2025

  I was reflecting on the whole chat apps and protocols the other day and felt we might just have trapped ourselves artificially. If I want to casually keep in touch with a friend, I am supposed to have the following options: - SMS/RCS: no need for an app but is controlled - WhatsApp: no good to many reasons - Signal: how can you believe it is not controlled once it becomes the mandatory app in the US Gov. - Matrix:... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• Grafana Webhook Integration with ntfy

  This post focuses on the last part. Despite Grafana's many built-in notification channels (Contact Point in Grafana's terminology), I am more interested in using ntfy, a small but powerful notification service that works as a pub/sub tool with a decent API, Web frontend and mobile application. - Source: dev.to / over 1 year 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 / over 1 year 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 / almost 2 years 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 / almost 2 years ago
