Doesn't appear to be open source... absolutely not.

Does it matter? It's a SaaS anyways, so if they wanted to go rogue and use it to eavesdrop on your chats open source wouldn't really prevent that. They even specifically recommend using a dedicated group chat for notification purposes. For self-hosted deployments there's already a multitude of projects that expose an API to send signal messages.

Yes - if it were open-source, you could self host it.

I am using apprise for several years. It works but have few drawbacks:

-no login, almost no security

-sometimes it does not works and there are no logs to see what exactly happens.

-secret storage is very bad

Ntfy I will check thanks.
