According to the release:
Adds experimental PostgreSQL support
The code was written by Cursor and Claude
14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed
reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks
This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.
Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

This doesn’t make me uneasy. It makes me resentful, a little angry, and a lot tired. Thanks for bringing it to attention, I will make sure that nothing of that project or from that author will ever cross my ecosystem again.
You’re gonna have a lot of hate in your blood if you go around acting like the most skilled engineers aren’t using AI to write code.
I’m so tired of that.
I’m using it for scripts notifications + unifiedpush. I don’t know where to start to find the fitting alternative.
The maintainer you and said that they tirelessly tested, reviewed and verified changes over the course of 3 weeks to make sure that things were running and operating correctly.
This is how it should be done. It’s not like they’re vibe coding this.
Lot of hate for a project maintained by a volunteer and offered for free here. Nobody forces this free stuff on you.
What’s the difference between ntfy (android app) and ntfy.sh?
In reality how big of a risk it currently is? I just started to use it just for fun and personal projects. If previous version didn’t have security vulnerabilties then then there is no rush to update or am i missing something?
Well, Telegram does the something for free.

Fuck, I love ntfy, it’s one of the best self hosted push notification systems I’ve used. It has been flawless so far.
Don’t like this.
Well now I certainly am glad I didn’t migrate from Gotify as I’ve been slowly planning.
That’s concerning. If it was “I generated a function with an LLM and reviewed it myself” I’d be much less concerned, but 14k added lines and 10k removed lines is crazy. We already know that LLMs don’t generate up to scratch code quality…
I won’t use PostgreSQL with ntfy, and keep an eye on it to see if they continue down this path for other parts of ntfy. If so I’ll have to switch to another UP provider.
Im quite hesistant with idea of AI writing my code. At one point your AI wont help you with fixing certain bug and you will have to go through all of this AI slop. Not to mention you deploy debt code.
I’ll embrace the inevitable fork.
Oh ffs…
Thanks for the heads-up
Definitely time to find an alternative. What the actual fuck is this
I just set up a ntfy server for Unified Push earlier this week to use with Matrix. Now I have to turn around and immediately replace it…
