If you are building an app just for yourself, or a small team. you can leverage our product MagicBell (https://www.magicbell.com), and get in-app, push, text, and Slack notifications in one API call.
This tool is just a small piece of our overall product.
In the actual application, you can create content (like this audiogram) once, and then export it for various dimensions without needing to do any redesigning as well.
MagicBell is the notification inbox for web & mobile apps. Building a notification system is hard - there are multiple APIs to learn and a ton of work in nailing down the UI and UX of the inbox. We take care of all that and enable our customers to launch in an hour, not months.
If you enjoy working on APIs and UI components that millions of developers would use, we’d love to chat. We are funded by Y Combinator (W21), post-revenue, and fully remote. We pay well and offer stock options with a 10-year exercise window (details in the job posts). We care a lot about diversity - three out of the five people team are women.
Disclaimer: Not an artist myself but a friend of the writer, and a co-founder of MagicBell - the host of the blog.
Aren't there a lot of artists (just like there are lots of actors) who have a day job to pay the bills? If that job happens to be in tech (and pay well) that should ideally be of interest to many people. Not to everyone but surely to some I assume. They won't be invested in the IPO or disruption but they could be interested in doing their job well and making a good living. I have a lot of friends (not all artists) who are super smart but work for low pay at restaurants and I for one sure wish they could work at tech and make more money. I know for a fact many of them would want to.
I'd say that the main complexity comes from exposing the logs/analytics to your end-users. I am hoping Svix will help companies implement Webhooks as well as companies like Stripe do.
Thanks! Like you mention on that page, the ability to follow threads without having to comment on them would be great. It’s next on our list of features.
Sure, I meant you can post the link to your extension explaining what it does on the problem thread I shared above as those who want HN Notifications are checking it out.
