Self hosted Mobile Push Notifications using NTFY

I am slowly moving to LineageOS on my personal phone. The most important features I use on that phone are Email, Messaging, Mapping, and Alerts. I have found decent alternatives for Email, Messaging, and Mapping. Alerts or Notifications are something I depend on a lot; currently, they are Google or Apple features. I could settle down for pulls (I get a few alerts by way of RSS feeds), but push would be great. Especially for alerts from my home or servers. Hence was looking for it. NTFY suited my needs from all angles. Therefore I took some time to deploy it.

Using Rich Text in AutoKey

consistent. Email template insertion is one of them. It can be done easily using phrases in AutoKey. But phrases support only simple text. But I do like HTML emails sometimes. So this is my hack.

CLI for Readlist

For example, “sri-lankas-economic-crisis.json” is the key to the Sri Lankan Economic Crisis reading list. It’s a single document. It has many feed items like any JSONFeed. The first few were easy to create and manage. But then I needed something simple to manage this if I was going to be serious about using it.

Simple Readlist viewer

Until now, I have been usingreadliston JSONFeed readers. But one of the reasons to have a readlist is to share it with friends. So I thought of a page that lists the links with some description. So now I have a simple page that does just that. It fetches the JSONFeed of a readlist and displays the articles as a list.

Chennai / IITM Paradox’22 Fest

Last weekend I was in Chennai for Paradox2022, the first offline student festival for IITM BSc Students. I have been teaching MAD01 and MAD02 since 2020 for BSc students personally; it’s been a great experience. But I never got to meet any of them in person, so I thought it would be an excellent chance to meet them. With the bonus of seeing more than a hundred students getting their diplomas.
