A simple server to send notifications to my phone, and an app to view/receive. Now setting up alerts anywhere is super easy.


How did you go about rolling your own? I've used discord webhooks for this.


A simple HTML app packaged via Phonegap for mobile. Server uses Google sign-in and rejects any sign-in apart from mine. Has a URL to generate an OTP token that allows connecting a mobile second in next 60 seconds. Once connected saves the device token in a free-mLabs DB (encrypted). Similarly, generate a webhooks URL for each service and wire. Hosted for free on Heroku!
