Show HN: Remote notifications system in its early stages

4 points

11 years ago

So, I've created this notification system from scratch to send notifications from remote systems to local workstation/laptop/phone and it has came to that point it can be shown to people.

Starting point for me was to send notifications from my IRC bouncer to my workstations and phone (which now works, yay!) but has extended to common purpose system. For example, if you are running long tasks on your server and want to get notify to you phone when its done, just do simple curl command after && !

Brief intro to get started and running server can be found here: http://lotsof.coffee/

All of this is open source and here comes the links:

server - https://github.com/vhakulinen/push-server

android app - https://github.com/vhakulinen/push-tool-android

linux desktop client - https://github.com/vhakulinen/push-notify-daemon

I've also been experimenting with the reddit's api to get notifications when there is new messages in inbox but that's not ready yet.

Oh, and please don't crash the server if you find bugs, open up an issue on github :)
