Sehr geniale App

Ich habe ntfy anscheinend viel zu spät entdeckt. Hätte mir einiges an Arbeit ersparen können, wenn ich ntfy schon früher gefunden hätte. Ich habe ein paar Raspis, die ich schon mehrfach neu aufsetzen musste, weil ich es einfach vergessen habe, regelmäßig nach Updates zu gucken und die dann einzuspielen - bevor die Update Queue platzt. Aber mit ntfy ändert sich alles. Ich kriege, wenn ich eingreifen muss, täglich einen Hinweis. Wenn kein Eingreifen erforderlich ist, dann nicht. So wird auch ein Overflow an Messages verhindert. Und ich kriege einen Statusbericht pro Woche. Wenn der wöchentliche Push nicht kommt, ist sofort klar, dass etwas nicht stimmt. sehr geniales Konzept der App. Vielen Dank dafür!

Great app but

The app works great except for the fact that for me I don’t get any actual alerts while I’m not on the app. I assumed it would also show up in my notifications on my phone but it requires you to have the app open to check notifications.

The only review I’ve made in 15 years

Honestly the greatest app of all time, just helps me manage my websites and outages, new signups, everything.

Merci !

Concept génial pour des notifications personnalisées ! En plus, appli en tiquid glass.

it simply doesn’t work

The notifications are accepted by the server, but you have to manually refresh the app for it to see them. Also, “clear all notifications” is a lie — if you delete the app and reinstall/resubscribe, they all come back, indicating that the server stores them indefinitely.
