spec and web app (for desktop notifications) coming soon. (maybe android .apk, too)
Wow, so weird. I was looking at ntfy literally yesterday and was wondering how a nostr implementation might work.
hah! i saw a ntfy notification on my phone today and was like ..... 🤔 I can nostr this.
I stopped short of asking "should I?" because why not?
I use ntfy a lot on a self-hosted instance. it's great self-hosted, but if it's literally just a server that catches http requests and rebroadcasts them, and a handful of client apps that know how to format them and create OS-level notifications, why do we need all the ntfy.sh stuff and the difficulty of self-hosting an instance, when nostr already does almost all of that?
lazy vibe-coded repo for now, I hope to improve this and at the very least provide a hosted version of the web client so that anyone can just use this.
GitHub
GitHub - vcavallo/nstrfy.sh: like ntfy.sh, but over nostr and you don't have to host it

Oh wow 🤘
I vibed last time a private notifications server, that only does the push sending, not even has the payload. So the app handles knowing the payload.
Also could be used to just wake the app up and do sthg in the background.
