I have a command-line utility I was using to send myself push notifications from the command-line. So to do a compile I would type

  make; phone

And poof! Instant push notification when it's done. Or I could

  ifconfig | grep ether | phone

No more need to write down those pesky ether addresses to walk across the office and diagnose something.

I was considering trying to build a product around it, but decided the market was too small. I considered OSSing it, but the barrier to setting up a push server, etc., was too high for it to be useful.

Now I will retarget my little command-line script to target Notifo over the weekend. Watch this space: http://github.com/drewcrawford/Phone-Pipe
