ntfy option

[engeir]

If someone do not want to use telegram or think it is too difficult to set up, just getting notifications (i.e., without the possibility of requesting the bot for info) is super easy with ntfy (github repo).

From the command line one can do

curl -d "Sooo easy\! 😀" ntfy.sh/mytopic

where mytopic can be whatever you want. Can be run directly from python, for example with the request or the subprocess library:

import requests
requests.post("https://ntfy.sh/mytopic", data="Sooo easy! 😀".encode(encoding='utf-8'))
## OR ##
import subprocess
subprocess.call(["curl", "-d", "Sooo easy! 😀", "ntfy.sh/mytopic"])  # Do not need to escape the "!" here.

Thus, this do not give any extra dependencies.
