Pushie: no-SDK webhook alerts

One curl pushes alerts to all your devices, no app or SDK required

Problem

Indie developers and small ops teams want the lightest possible way to notify multiple devices when a self-hosted service, systemd unit, or custom script fails. Existing options either require installing an app and configuring an SDK, or buying into a heavyweight monitoring platform. Many users just want a simple webhook endpoint, not an entire ecosystem for one notification.

Solution

A minimal push service: users claim a username and get a webhook URL. Any script can POST a message and all signed-in devices receive a native-style notification. No app install, no complex auth, no SDK. Works both self-hosted and hosted, with copy-paste examples for systemd, shell scripts, and cron.

Users

Indie developers, solo ops, NAS and home-server hobbyists, script automation enthusiasts

MVP

Custom username plus webhook URL generation; HTTP POST push to all online devices; browser-based desktop notifications via Web Push; copy-paste snippets for systemd, cron, and curl; simple delivery history with retry log

Revenue

Free tier with monthly push quota; paid subscription for higher frequency, custom webhook domains, team channels, and longer history; one-time commercial license for self-hosters

Why now

AI agents and automation scripts are multiplying, and every bot or service needs a lightweight notification outlet. The indie community appreciates no-SDK, no-lock-in infrastructure, and a small reliable notification endpoint spreads easily on HN and V2EX.
