Very nice. I use a telegram bot for doing this as telegram API also makes it a simple GET request to send such notifications to yourself (once you have created a bot).

Also it's surprisingly hard to kill telegram for some reason so it's kinda robust. My stupid mi phone is quite aggresive in killing most background apps except whatsapp and telegram.

I love this project. Super simple to interface with, accomplishes the task very well, reliable, good documentation. It's hard to think of better design and execution for this type of utility.

I use it to get notifications of the CI running on build.wireguard.com, which took less than a minute to get working. Sometimes I'll use it for random one-off notifications, like when a command finishes running or some shell script sleep-loop scraper finds what it was waiting for. It's the nicest thing I've had for that kind of thing since mytelephonenumber@txt.att.net.

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).

I did the same with a Telegram bot to notify me about long-running jobs finishing on a server.

Ditto. 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.

Neat! I built something similar a while ago, to scratch my own itch. It's just using text messages instead of a dedicated app (for good or for worse).

It's funny how similar the domain name is.
