Soonish

Note: this began in event-details-updates-via-notifications-as-a-service and is the first iteration of this idea

Use Cases

  • Event Details and updates
  • IT ticketing system
  • Volunteer reminder system

Requirements

  1. apprise server/library
  2. CMS with users and roles + a database
  • updates need to POST to apprise
  1. notification backbone
  • SMS
  • email (requires domain to offer a real service)
    • maybe managers could bring their own email server?
    • no, just make it configurable - people setup the whole thing or they pay me
  1. infra
  • Temporal instead of webserver patterns may lead to easier scaling

Drafting

  • Been working in Windsurf with gpt-5 mostly on outlining the requirements for soonish
  • My immediate goal is to have very detailed specs for the project to best utilize AI while building it without allowing the AI to drive any meaningful aspect of the development

Ideas

  • WorkOS for auth for B2B for soonish
  • remind.notifiq.net/ as a usecase for soonish
    • configured reading times, so just get reminded at the next one
    • phase 2 of this idea might be grabbing the content of the url and sending the notification with some of that content
