> I personally wouldn't even run a public service for others without E2E encryption. So don't? seems like everyone got what they wanted.
Well, thinking logically: if everyone really got what they wanted, that question wouldn't be in the FAQ, would it?

Neat project. Where does the funding come from?
It's quite cheap to run. It's just one small EC2 instance, and it's usually idling around a load average of 0.1 (though right now it's at 1, hehe). It costs me about $24/month. The Apple developer license costs $100 per year, so it's ~$400/year. As of recently, that's entirely covered by donations. I am incredibly humbled by the sponsorships. I would have never thought ntfy would take off like that. I love open sourc…
Gonna stick this on my home server & add some fw rules to filter out various countries
From the FAQ[1]: > Will you know what topics exist, can you spy on me? > If you don't trust me or your messages are sensitive, run your own server. This is the way. No pinky promises in whitepaper format[2] that leave out the most important bits, no meticulously constructed but entirely meaningless marketing statements[3][4], but unassuming and deferential logic with a mitigation path. 1: https://ntfy.sh/docs/faq/#wi…
Why couldn't the entire system be E2E encrypted by default, though? In 2022, that's my standard expectation from any service. Even such things as Pocket / Instapaper / Raindrop should come with E2E encryption by default. It's better for the service provider, too: no issues with GDPR, or in case of a database hack.
Fortunately, it's open-source, so if you really want, you can fork the app to add a decryption layer and then use `curl -d "$(echo "My Message" | openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -pbkdf2 -e -k "My Password")" ntfy.sh/my_topic` and that'll be E2E encrypted.
Or, you know, host your own ntfy server and trust in SSL.

If you would like to lower the cost more, I think switching to a cheaper cloud service like Linode or Hetzner would be the way to go.
cool. e2e encryption would be great..
End to end encryption is already fully designed and partially implemented. I just had a baby and have no time to do it recently: https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/69

https://pushover.net/ Has existed for several years. It works great for me.
I've used pushover for years as well. I wish they would charge me $5/y instead of a $5/lifetime. I've asked them to do that. I want this service to last. I set up Tasker on my phone such that when a specific low-priority (no visible/audible alert) message from pushover, containing only a hash key, is received it picks it up and does an HTTPS request to my self-hosted server to retrieve the actual notification text. I…

Why couldn't you write a patch to do that, and submit it? Or clone the code and release e2entfy.sh?
Another good open-source self-hosted alternative is Gotify. https://gotify.net
