Super cool! I did something like this for personal use using a Discord bot (which you can also just POST to with no fancy backend if you want).

- Retr0id 4y agoDitto. Discord works great for me because it's the one app I actually have installed on across most of my devices (including desktop), and regularly check notifications for.
- andai 4y agoI did the same with a Telegram bot to notify me about long-running jobs finishing on a server.
- RicoElectrico 4y agoYeah, a one-person Discord "server" is a great way to have e.g. RSS notifications (via MonitoRSS) as well as simple bots. It is just remarkably straightworward - you don't need to register an app, just generate a webhook token and then curl a simple json to that endpoint. Now, I was confused and thought webhooks are somehow standardized, but they're not. It's kinda like RSS in reverse, with an application defined payload.
