Hi I’m Phil 👋, I’m a software engineer, and I maintain an open source push notification tool called ntfy. I’m also German 🇩🇪, and a big fan of 🇬🇧 & 🇺🇸, and a dad of two 👦👧

You can type reset
to fix your terminal if it gets messed up like that.
Here ya go. ChatGPT did all the hard work: https://chat.openai.com/share/7703dbe5-6801-4d5b-8d56-c3f18ca3ac4a

That’s what saving the IDs is for right? It’s easy enough to do in a bash script I think. I’ll post it here later, assuming I get it to work.
Oh that’s a good idea. Any reader suggestions? I have thought about trying RSS again for a while. Maybe this is a good enough reason.
Thanks dude. I’m going to try the curl route. What do you mean by it sends you every post? Isn’t that what I want?
That implies that it’s not a native feature. I gotta find the API docs then…
Edit: Looks like there is an easy-ish API. Examples:
$ curl -s "https://discuss.ntfy.sh/api/v3/post/list?sort=Hot"|jq '.posts[].post.name'
"Docker-compose + Traefik"
"[SOLVED] Self-hosted NTFY does not receive all notifications"
"Markdown is coming soon ... 🤩 😲"
"[disscussion] Lemmy push notifications with ntfy"
"Using healthchecks.io and ntfy.sh to wake you up if your services are down"
"Ntfy Connector: Modal-based discord bot to send,and now receive, ntfy notifications."
"Welcome to the new ntfy discussion board"
"ntfy Web Push / PWA support is coming soon"
"📢 ntfy Web Push / PWA: Request for testing!"
"ntfy release 🎉 - Now with Web Push and a progressive web app (hello iOS friends ❤️), and with dark mode for the web app! ntfy lets you send push notifications to your phone via a simple REST API, and"
Thank you for contributing to the magic of the old school internet.
My question: How does one get to write an RFC? Do you have to become part of a certain group, or just be known in certain circles, or do you just start writing and then submit it somewhere? If I had a great idea that I think should become an RFC, what is the process to make this a reality?
Related question: is “Hot” super buggy? I am on 0.18.0, but I still often see really really really old posts (1 year old, 2 years old) sprinkled in with new stuff, and I often see clusters of 5-10 posts of a single community grouped together.
I have to pay extra attention to the post age because of this.

Related to another Reddit app, but not RIF:
The Relay for Reddit dev (u/dbrady) is bravely working on Relay. I got an update yesterday. The changelog said “further reduce API calls”. I think he actually wants to make it a paid app, which I’d gladly pay for.
I hate the Reddit change as much as the next guy, but if the Relay dev can actually make a profit from it that’d be awesome. The app cost a one-time $4 or something, which I’m sure he never made bank with. Having like $3-5/month for it would probably be sustainable.
That … actually looks and feels pretty slick. Very neat UI.
