As a sports fan, I recently setup a python script to pull a weeks worth of games (past/previous), and send me the schedule every 3 days via a cronjob with ntfy. I also set it up to let me know when it's GameDay for a few of my teams from different sports and when they are starting.
What do you use it for?
I tried ntfy but really can't find why I should use it. I've been using Pushover for years and it really does anything I want. Am I missing something?
If Pushover has issues, how do get your messages? You rely entirely on a thirdparty service in the cloud.
You do know that this is /r/selfhosted right?
I do use Pushover myself and its great and cheap, but its absolutely not comparable to ntfy or Gotify being selfhosted.
Also with local selfhosting you can still get messages when your internet is down.
True, but the actual push notifications still go through cloud with iOS. So I am missing the point for iOS.
selfhosted :)
