I know it's not like a web server on the phone or anything, and likely questionable to mention it at all (since I made it), but I made a thing that lets you send notifications to a phone (or desktop) via curl [0] via a simple PUT or POST. It's definitely not a cool protocol since it's simple HTTP, but it's in the spirit of other Unix tools since it's just one thing to do one job.

- dolmen 5y agoMissing in the FAQ: what happens when multiple clients have subscribed on a topic (ex: via SSE)? In practice (2 SSE clients): all clients are notified.
- binwiederhier 5y agoThanks for the feedback. I'll add it. Yes you are correct: It's the nature of pub-sub that all subscribers are notified if a messages arrives on a topic.
