Gotify: An Open Source Tool For Sending Notifications To Any Device You Want
One black Friday I started working on notifications and this is what made my life easier and my development faster.
A while ago a nice and weird requirement came up.
Requirement: We need to send notifications to all ( IOS, web-push, Android, or anything which can receive a notification we need to cover them all) ( Here I am talking about devices, not Email or SMS)
Action: We and my manager started looking for a platform which can help us, and we found many ( but each of them was lacking in one of our requirements)
Things we tried: Sockets.io, firebase, rxDB, and many more tools which are standards for notifications. each of those was lacking with our requirements and I was too exhausted that I spent weeks in search of the best tool for that. ( we had to save every penny of our client too.)
The day we met Gotify: As usual, I was searching for the tools, and when I and my manager were on call, and we found gotify. and it was like love at first sight.
Why Gotify:
- Open Source 😍 whole code was in our hands, we can use it as we wanted.
- Being a Golang developer, it was easy for me to modify this as our needs.
