Hello friends 👋, it's that time again. A new ntfy release has landed. This one is pretty cool!
For those who don't know, ntfy is a a tool that lets you send push notifications to your phone from any script or server using a simple HTTP PUT/POST requests. It's 100% open source and self-hostable, and has an Android app and a web app. You can use ntfy like this (more in the docs). This will send a notification to your phone:
undefinedcurl -d "Backup on $(hostname) complete" ntfy.sh/mytopicI host free and open version on ntfy.sh, but you can host your own of course.
🔥 What's new? With this release, the ntfy web app now contains a progressive web app (PWA) with Web Push support, which means you'll be able to install the ntfy web app on your desktop or phone similar to a native app (even on iOS! 🥳). Installing the PWA gives ntfy web its own launcher, a standalone window, push notifications, and an app badge with the unread notification count. Note that this needs to be configured for selfhosted servers!
On top of that, this release also brings dark mode 🧛🌙 to the web app.
🙏 A huge thanks for this release goes to @nimbleghost, for basically implementing the Web Push / PWA and dark mode feature by himself. I'm really grateful for your contributions.
❤️ If you like ntfy, please consider sponsoring us via GitHub Sponsors or Liberapay, or buying a paid plan via the web app. Contrary to "popular" belief, I am not swimming in money due to the paid plans. 😬
