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

💖 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)
