The release line continued through v1.0.7 on 2024-10-31, which matches the stable version in the Homebrew formula metadata checked for this batch. notify belongs to the ProjectDiscovery ecosystem, so its history is tied to security and recon workflows rather than generic desktop notifications. The README's examples show subfinder output piped into notify, making it part of the common ProjectDiscovery pattern of chaining small CLI tools. ### Adoption history Adoption is strongest among security automation users who already run ProjectDiscovery tools. Homebrew formula analytics reported 217 installs over the 365-day window, which likely understates overall use because the README emphasizes go install and ProjectDiscovery also publishes Docker images. ### How it is used Typical usage is to configure provider credentials in ~/.config/notify/provider-config.yaml, then pipe another command's output into notify or send an output file with -data. Flags cover bulk mode, per-message character limits, provider selection, provider IDs, rate limiting, proxying, custom formatting, and custom webhooks. The practical package-nerd distinction from noti is that notify is pipeline-oriented: it forwards output from tools, scans, or files to shared channels. It is less about telling one local user that a command finished and more about routing results to team notification systems. ### Why package nerds care notify is a small but important piece of security-tool plumbing. It packages notification fanout as a composable Unix filter, which keeps recon and monitoring scripts from embedding Slack/Discord/Telegram webhook logic everywhere. ### Timeline - 2020-11-04: v0.0.1 tag. - 2021-08-22: v1.0.0 tag. - 2024-10-31: v1.0.7 tag, matching the Homebrew stable formula version checked here. ### Related projects - ProjectDiscovery subfinder, httpx, nuclei, Slack, Discord, Telegram, Pushover, Microsoft Teams, Google Chat, Gotify. ### Sources - - - - ## Security Notes broad file, network, media, or database tool signal. - **Geiger risk:** blue / medium - broad file, network, media, or database tool signal ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
