That's why I'm saying, I don't do marketing, just launching on platforms like ProductHunt etc... But nowadays, there are tons of tools launching everyday so it's hard.

I've also tried directories, where they post your website on several websites, but that didn't work well unfortunately.


I totally agree with you. Product Hunt was once the place to launch, but let's face it, these days you launch on it but you can't expect much. There's too much competition and the competition is not fair.

I received so many messages to ask me if I'd be happy to buy upvotes, so of course I don't, and most of the time, you can't reach the top 10.

It's very nice to see alternatives to PH, good job!


I'll be totally transparent with my opinion: I think PH is still a great place to launch, and you should use it! However, you shouldn't have high expectations because as you said, there's too much competition and it isn't fair

I'll do my best to keep Uneed fair, thank you so much for your encouragement Sorasful, it means a lot!


Interesting. I'll try to explain a bit more, maybe you can tell me if I should rephrase it.

When you visit a website, the website loads a script that intercepts the requests made from the website (like you said). It only intercepts HTTP requests, so most of these requests should be targeting APIs.

With these information, I create dashboards and charts.


Certainly! Fundamentally, ntfy.sh and pushbeacon.com do the same thing. However, there are a few differences:

- as you mentioned, the pricing: we offer lifetime pricing, which will evolve. The current price is for the early stages because the project is still in its initial phase.

- regarding notifications, we don't store anything at all, unlike ntfy. This can be a strength or a weakness; if you need to have many different channels and keep track of them, ntfy is clearly a better alternative.

- PushBeacon was designed to be very simple to use. Generate a code, enter it into the application, add an API key, and that’s it. You can send notifications in less than two minutes.

We don't offer as many features as ntfy, but simplicity is the heart of the project.


You can decide to send push notifications to yourself, but you can also give code to others people so they can also receive the alerts !

It can be good if for example you have a project with co-founders and you need everyone to know what's happening, or other uses cases.


Of course! You're right, the idea behind playlist is an aggregation of multiple feeds. On your playlist (or other's) you can bookmark articles, add notes to the articles. And I'm currently thinking about adding some options for filtering, I don't know if this would be useful to people yet.

And about the ability to export a playlist in a RSS format, this is a great question, actually this is the next feature I'm planning to add. I was thinking about this a lot but never got any confirmation that this would be useful or not. Maybe Symfoz would be a great aggregator but not so much a great reader, I guess it depends for people.
