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#... ).
