Show HN: I made an API to easily send custom notifications to your phone

Hey HN!

I’m a solopreneur, and in the last few years, I've built several projects. However, each time these projects took too long, so I decided to try shorter projects and avoid spending months on projects that won’t attract anyone.

When you have one project, it’s pretty easy to manage; you have your dashboard, you check your mail… But when you start having multiple projects, it becomes more complicated.

For example, I wanted to know when I received a payment from LemonSqueezy, and since they don’t have a mobile app, the only way was to constantly check my emails to see if something happened.

That’s why I created this project. Now, in my projects, I send notifications to my phone whenever a user signs up for my app or when I receive a payment on my webhook from LemonSqueezy.

There are, of course, alternatives to this project; I didn't invent anything. But I focused on allowing people to set up their notifications very quickly and keeping things simple. We don’t provide 100 integrations, we don’t have a history… But we do one simple thing, and that’s well enough for a majority of use cases.

Sidenote: PushBeacon uses PushBeacon to warn me when something happens, and I find it very satisfying.

Would love your feedback on this !

Téva.
