Yesterday evening I threw together a landing page for a side project to my other side projects:

[jsnell@zeppelin.flights]

@simonbs oh yes, I would use this.

[michael@social.nozbe.com]

@jsnell @simonbs same here! Can’t wait! Go Simon!

[mikaeleiman@mastodon.sdf.org]

@simonbs I would try it out! I don't know what practical use I would have for it, but I'd like to be able to find that out

[jeromechoo@masto.ai]

@simonbs there used to be an amazing push notification service on Android way back in the day. Been waiting for something like it on iOS!!

[mikaelacaron@swiftdevs.space]

@simonbs I’d use it! I would later like a dashboard, but I’ve been wanting push notifications just in real time to see people signup for my app ️

Cause it’s a small number right now and I need that dopamine

[hoagie@jawns.club]

@simonbs What are you using for the back end of this?

[simonbs@mastodon.social]

@hoagie I’ve tried to answer that here: https://brrr.now/learn-more/

Happy to elaborate but I’m curious if that page answer your question, because if not, then I’d like to update it. I want to be as transparent as possible with this.

[hoagie@jawns.club]

@simonbs Basically where's the web hook receiving? Are you hosting a server? Firebase? Etc?

[simonbs@mastodon.social]

@hoagie Oh, I can add that. It’s a Cloudflare Worker which in turn talks with a Vercel app. I’d like to get rid of the latter, but Cloudflare doesn’t seem to really support HTTP/2, which is required for APNS.

[brendan@phpc.social]

@simonbs I’d love to give it a try.

[jesper_linnet@hachyderm.io]

@simonbs It looks so nice and simple. I hope you release it

[twcau@mastodon.social]

@simonbs Like the idea of being able to send notifications using only a webhook, and not having to give a specific app truckloads of permissions.

The level of customisation of the notification will be key for some; i.e. how detailed can I get? Can I send a critical message?

Also, how costly is such a service to run? What might a subscription model look like if needed in the future? Does this do anything that isn't already in the market?

Vaguely remember an iOS app and website, can't find it.

[ben_rearden@pkm.social]

@simonbs Yes!!!

[axxl@mastodon.social]

@simonbs seems like an easy win to have an encryption key so the push data is encrypted and do a push service to decrypt on device?

[simonbs@mastodon.social]

@axxl Yes, that's also something I've been thinking to do!

[thomas@schoffelen.net]

@simonbs I definitely would! All the alternatives look old and complicated - have thought about building my own version of this before as well

[theadhdm@tech.lgbt]

@simonbs I can already think of at least two things I can use this for the moment it’s available

[mlysons@iosdev.space]

@simonbs I like the shaky brrr so I’m all in

[billyadams@okla.social]

@simonbs abso-freaking-lutely would use this!!! Will you be creating a shortcuts action you can invoke at the end of a shortcut?

[sense@mastodon.social]

@simonbs looking forward to the release!
