There is a PCB make it Yourself Project that was very low power and played a cricket sound at random intervals. It lasted Years on a coin cell. Don’t use this on mentally unstable people!

Why are you encoding this?

Also, typo

Monetary needs and all that. If it’s a startup with VC then there is either not enough people paying or not enough private users supporting by other means like bug fixing, support, etc. Or greed by VC. But in general, what do we expect where the time comes from people spend on coding for us? See openssl that is essential and was about to loose its main dev. Pay or donate or contribute. Preferably to a non VC project.

Me too …

I am not saying that ntfy is responsible or even the cause but since I tried it my notifications on Android are beyond screwed. I removed it and still … But it would be nice to have and since a lot of people are using it successfully I am sure it’s a viable alternative.
