14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

Sigh. Time to switch to gotify

been using EMQX plus an MQTT client on my phone for a few months now, I like it better than gotify since the app was chewing through my battery like a vampire.

it might be better now since my issues happened three-ish years ago.

This EMQX?

Seems it's no longer FOSS?

I've been using Gotify for a few notifications from Home Assistant and it doesn't appear to be eating my battery.

It's a little more responsive than ntfy - sometimes ntfy doesn't alert for ages after the trigger (could be phone power saving the wifi...), but then I also get realerts from yesterday.... not had that with Gotify.

that's the one.

FOSS or not, it still runs just fine on my infra. I prefer it over something like rabbitmq because it has a pretty slick admin webgui.

I'll have to give gotify another try.
