Apprise - Push Notifications that work with just about every platform!
About Caronc Apprise
From the project's README at github.com/caronc/apprise. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
ap·prise / verb To inform or tell (someone). To make one aware of something.
Apprise allows you to send a notification to almost all of the most popular notification services available to us today such as: Telegram, Discord, Slack, Amazon SNS, Gotify, etc.
One notification library to rule them all. A common and intuitive notification syntax. Supports the handling of images and attachments (to the notification services that will accept them). It's incredibly lightweight. Amazing response times because all messages sent asynchronously.
Developers who wish to provide a notification service no longer need to research each and every one out there. They no longer need to try to adapt to the new ones that comeout thereafter. They just need to include this one library and then they can immediately gain access to almost all of the notifications services available to us today.
