The app currently operates on the locale of your browser, so it will adapt the events naturally to the local time. The countdown will be based on your local timezone


I built this web app a couple of years ago because I always need to know what meetings are coming up, and I've never found a satisfactory solution. So, a web app that throws countdowns at me, as well as playing ping sounds/flashing the screen when meetings are approaching. Free as of now.

I always have multiple screens around, and I dedicate a vertical panel to this app.

Lately, I've upgraded it to also support booking rooms by querying for free rooms and "fast booking" them depending on a custom priority list. I have a personal use case for this one: even periodic meetings don't have assigned rooms, so I can just bulk-book the first available rooms for the next couple of weeks for every meeting that does not have an associated one.

I hope this app can help others find some help for their corporate lives, as it did for me :D


Hi, Notify17 author here :)

I just wanted to point out that there is not a single part of the flow which is not encrypted at rest, and, apart from text-processing areas, in transit.

All user-content arguments sent to the hook endpoints (to generate notifications) are obscured for the whole flow of the notification generation. Which causes trouble when trying to debug issues, but oh well, I believe privacy is more important than anything else in this context.

I dream for this tool to be used by devops people (I'm mainly one of them!), so I value the privacy element in this project above all. It happens that I end up asking users "what the hell did you type there to break things to much" :D

For the matter of logs, I'm so happy about having used Go for this project, because I can mask fields here and there nicely (e.g. https://github.com/cmaster11/structs/blob/master/structs.go#... ).


Hi! Thanks for the notice, is this error still happening?


Thanks a lot! Hope you can find even more useful features in Notify17! ;)


Eheh well, self-promotion is kinda vital for who makes his own product! ;)

Question, how was using Scala on Android? :O


Hi!

You're not the only one reporting this error, I'll look into it as soon as possible :)

Android client is in active development, but I'm afraid I cannot exactly predict when it will be ready. I prefer to not give in this context an esteem which could be wrong, sorry for this. :)

P.s. thanks a lot!


Yeah, KDEConnect is nice too :)

Notify17 is more of a SaaS for who desires an immediately ready system to generate notifications.
