What's the difference between this and [Pushover](https://pushover.net)?

Pushover also handles a server, which you can make requests to, that sends push notifications to your phone. It looks like this project just scrapes JSON from a URL for changes, and notifies from that.

Pushover is push based, while this looks to be pull based.

You self-host the source of the messages in this case.

(I use pushover, and it rocks. But there you POST the message to pushover, here you host them on your own machine(s))
