Neat, I've been working on a similar tool, but I've been trying to make it not require a 3rd party service for cross machine notifications.
I've been testing things out like udp multicast and zyre.
mobile notifications are tricky, looks like one can use https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/03/push-notifications-on-the-open-web https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2015/03/push-notif..., but that still technically piggybacks over google cloud messaging.
- voltagex_ 10y agoThe problem I have with that is I then have to run yet another app on my phone. I want to run less apps, not more (especially on Android, where running an app seems to mean it can use any amount of battery it wants). When my subscription to PushBullet runs out I'll be experimenting with PushOver. It's Growl all over again, but not quite as good. Edit: Ntfy looks like exactly what I want. I do really like the idea of notifications that stay within my LAN, or are under my direct control. Now that I have SSL on my home server, I should be able to use Chrome notifications to Android (but isn't GCM involved there somewhere anyway?)
