Show HN: Made a new notification tool and I'm looking for some beta testers

I've been forever looking for something that can do this in WhatsApp because that's the only app that in my whitelist (android). How much battery does your app consume?

I'm a total miser when it comes to my phone battery and while I surely don't fully understand how android push messages work, I am just paranoid of letting more apps run in the background (like fb messenger, truecaller, etc) because they definitely reduce the battery life.

With Telegram this is pretty simple: "https://api.telegram.org/bot#{token}/sendMessage?chat_id=#{c...

All you'd need to do to set it up is create a bot (from within Telegram via the BotFather account), and then either start a conversation with it or add it to a group chat or channel.

I've been using this approach to send me notifications whenever someone logs in to one of my servers for a bit of extra security.

Done that too :)

But then, when you need templates, and send payloads from webhooks, there it gets messy..

I made Notify17 exactly to avoid that mess :D

There are no processes running in the background in this app (apart from a periodic check every 10 minutes for new notifications, which lasts very few seconds). I use it all day long and never have issues with battery, because the CPU is used only when it receives a new notification.
