Simon B. StøvringYesterday evening I threw together a landing page for a side project to my other side projects:
It’s a tiny and opinionated tool for sending push notifications. No sign up. No message history. No dashboard.
I like it. Would you? 😄
Florent Alexandre@simonbs AH I was looking for something exactly like this last week for a vibe coded Linux media server, will gladly test it!
@simonbs first bit of feedback: I would love a way to get the native share sheet instead of just the copy option as I’m more likely to send the curl / link to my mac than directly use it on my phone.
@simonbs maybe tapping the field itself could still copy directly but the buttons could just be regular share buttons 🤔
@simonbs thanks for the update, just setup the server this morning and it works as expected! This is already everything I needed and I will happily buy it once it’s out.
I did get an other idea using it : an in app history view of received pushes. Since tapping a notification to read the full text makes them disappear from the notification center it would be convenient to be able to read them again in app. But I understand if that’s straying too far from the simplicity you’re aiming for!
@florentalexdr Glad to hear it's working for you! Thanks for helping me test it.
A few people have mentioned the desire for a history but I'd really love to avoid this. It takes a way some simplicity while increasing complexity, since I don't want to store these messages on my backend. I wonder if it's just a "nice to have" or an actual need for people. If it's the latter, I've got to tackle it. If it's just a nice to have, I'd rather pursue simplicity.
@simonbs would it be necessary to store them on your backend? The clients could just store them locally and display the last x notifications. I feel like that would be enough to avoid the « wait what did that notification say again» case I was thinking about.
@florentalexdr It could work but I'd expect such information to be synced across devices, even if a device didn't receive a notification. That complicates things.
