Show HN: Hooks – Stay Up to Date on Anything Through Push Notifications

This is the first I've heard of Pushbullet, and boy is their marketing frustrating. I just spent 5 minutes trying to answer the question "Is this a service which turns an HTTP POST into an iOS push notification?", only to be greeted with answers like "Bring together your devices, friends, and the things you care about". Argh.

In that case you'll like Pushover's home page: https://pushover.net/

There's a sample curl command right there on the page.

EDIT: Pushbullet's home page has a link to API docs, and it took 30 seconds to find this: https://docs.pushbullet.com/#create-push

+1 for Pushover. I'd been using Slack for device notifications, but Pushover is much faster. I've had both running simultaneously and the Slack alerts would sometimes arrive minutes after Pushover.
