Show HN: Super simple notifications for long-running command line tasks

I was looking for something just like this earlier this year when running a lot of DL jobs. Nice. Will give it a shot!

Awesome! Glad that I wasn't the only one who needed this. Let me know if you have any feedback while using it.

Neat idea, thanks. I normally just send a ping to my slackbot but texts would probably be even better.

Love the idea of alternative notification targets.

The idea was to make the API curl as simple and short as possible, to the point where you could probably memorize it. Would be trivial to then add additional notification targets server-side, based on user preference.

I.e. sending a Slack message -- even in the simplest form requires a rather long URL with a JSON body that has a couple of fields.

This is definitely a better idea than mine, I was actually going to set up something similar for myself with AWS SNS + Lambda webhook- but the URL is infinitely more ugly than yours.
