a while ago I had a periodical cron script that would check if a specific domain is available. I wanted to get a notification on my smartphone as soon as the domain was free.
But I couldn't find a simple way of sending a push notification from a bash script. I ended up using the [IFTTT](http://ifttt.com/) API to send a [Pushbullet](http://pushbullet.com/) message to my phone which triggered a [Tasker](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch....) task to play a loud sound - it worked at that time, but I still think it was stupidly complicated.
So I decided to make an app where you can send a text to a very simple API and get a notification on your phone. And over the last weekend I decided to polish it enough in case someone else runs in the same need :D
