Let me see what I can do about prioritizing this one a bit.

That would be great! I've only had a quick look at the docs, but the API seems reasonable: https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/apps/oauth/ https://docs.joinmastodon.org/methods/statuses/

It's not the sending the messages that has me stumped, it's the setup of the server (the hosting of it itself).

Do you know of a public service that exists i could build/test the Apprise plugin against? Would love just even temporary access to a server to perfect its design (then my account could be terminated)

Hey cool, this is my project. Happy to answer questions. Edit: I am also looking for a new opportunity. If you need a good Staff/Principal Engineer, check out my resume here: https://heckel.io/resume.pdf

Yesssss, I have been looking for this type of service forever. I'm excited

So the developer just pays for the server and the Apple Developer Program out of his/her own pocket for the public good?

Correct. Though by now it is covered by donations. This is my hobby. Others buy expensive bikes or cars, I buy Apple Developer licenses. Hehe.

If money gets tight, you could always sell it for $44 billion

This is great! I used to just use XMPP for this (so send an XMPP message to myself), but I guess having a push notification can mean you can do more powerful things with it.

But, XMPP is push all by itself already, and works with mobile push notification services where needed.

https://pushover.net/ Has existed for several years. It works great for me.

Thanks, I may have dismissed Pushover simply because it isn't free but a $5 one time purchase is actually not too bad.

It's practically free. I bought the app once many years ago and have never sent more than 1000 pushes a month.

Thank you for creating this. I was just looking for something like that to send notifications to my mobile without setting this all up and deploying my own app to the store. Using ntfy now :)

I'm not sure if it's worth going any lower than $24/month

If I were to run my own personal instance of this that cost would be quite high. A free Oracle Cloud VM or $5 Digital Ocean droplet would be the way I go.

If I go by $50/hour salary on average for developer, if someone saves 20 minutes per month on average using AWS, it is worth it.

Yeah, that's why I used it. It was simple and awesome!

What I meant is that by supporting push notifications directly, you can do things like supporting action buttons, open a link when clicking the notification, etc, rather than just XMPP which was what my solution did.
