Hi I’m Phil 👋, I’m a software engineer, and I maintain an open source push notification tool called ntfy. I’m also German 🇩🇪, and a big fan of 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸, and a dad of two 👦👧

  • That implies that it’s not a native feature. I gotta find the API docs then…

    Edit: Looks like there is an easy-ish API. Examples:

    $ curl -s "https://discuss.ntfy.sh/api/v3/post/list?sort=Hot"|jq '.posts[].post.name'
    "Docker-compose + Traefik"
    "[SOLVED] Self-hosted NTFY does not receive all notifications"
    "Markdown is coming soon ... 🤩 😲"
    "[disscussion] Lemmy push notifications with ntfy"
    "Using healthchecks.io and ntfy.sh to wake you up if your services are down"
    "Ntfy Connector: Modal-based discord bot to send,and now receive, ntfy notifications."
    "Welcome to the new ntfy discussion board"
    "ntfy Web Push / PWA support is coming soon"
    "📢  ntfy Web Push / PWA: Request for testing!"
    "ntfy release 🎉 - Now with Web Push and a progressive web app (hello iOS friends ❤️), and with dark mode for the web app! ntfy lets you send push notifications to your phone via a simple REST API, and"
    









  • I know you specifically asked for books, videos and podcasts, but I have actually personally never found any books, videos or podcasts I tried super inspiring or helpful. The only thing I have done on occasion is to use Pluralsight courses to learn a particular language or platform really fast (Android development, React, …).

    What I can really recommend though is to just read Hacker News and get inspired by what other people do. I find only about 10% or so actually interesting, but there’s always something fascinating.

    Aside from that, I learned most of my programming knowledge (not necessarily engineering knowledge) from side projects. For about a year now I have worked on a push notification service called ntfy that truly fulfills me, and that forces me to constantly learn new things.
