According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

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

reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

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?

Yeah, this is now inherently untrustworthy. Better to switch to an alternative.

    Do you know any? I've never really looked beyond ntfy.sh until now

    There's SunUp on F-droid, but I don't know anything about them.

    That's from Mozilla, another AI company...

    Ugh, seriously? Great...

    (Edit) I don't think this is true? They use Mozilla's push services, but nothing about their Codeberg repo (yes, it's on Codeberg, not Github) indicates they're part of Mozilla.

    The app itself might be fine, but you are either using the Mozilla services or the backend written by Mozilla. Sadly Mozilla has lost all the good will it had and is just another silicon valley AI company these days, and seems to prefer it that way.

    Sure. All I said was that it doesn't actually seem to be run by Mozilla, like you implied it was.

    The push service is run by Mozilla. Master of reading comprehension, I bow to you.

    Then why is Sunup and only Sunup on Codeberg, not Github where the rest of Mozilla's code is kept? And why is it not under any sort of official Mozilla branding?

    Self-host

    It is possible to host your own Autopush server. Autopush is designed to work with Google BigTable but it is also possible to use it with redis.

    For this:

    1. Clone Autopush

    # mozilla-services/autopush-rs

    Autopush-rs

    Mozilla Push server built with Rust.

    By using Sunup, your are going to have to trust Mozilla.

    I recently switched to gotify. Push notifications to iOS aren’t as good but I’m happy with it.

    ntfy never really had good push to iOS, in my experience. The only way I could keep my private channels consistently working was to use the PWA and specifically not sign into it (otherwise, my login token would expire and break things).

    I gave up and switched to pushover and as long as I’m somewhat cognizant about what i’m including in the notifications, I’ve been pretty happy.

    I’d love for something self hostable to get as good as pushover on iOS
