Google Alerts is fundamentally broken, I found. Never worked reliably for me.


This is brilliant. Using it myself for a while and support the creator on Patreon.


Desktop PC then?


That I have. I don't have any programs with notifications other than I put in a notification for the number of mail messages by myself. Many programs I use I wrote myself or modified for my own use.


That's a good one. Usually I block all notifications on both laptop and mobile. Do not disturb is my favourite feature.


That's interesting. Can you elaborate? How does it help you?


Can only speak about myself, but it renders social media with pictures or videos pretty much useless. My usage dropped significantly. Check it out for yourself under accessibility settings if your have iOS.


Thanks! I am on iOS, yes. Have you noticed any positive impacts on battery time, too?


A little bit. It seems 10-20% better. I have not analyzed the data though. It’s my gut feeling :)


Found a workaround. Create a Google Alert for site:indiehackers.com and subscribe via RSS feed:

That's a good first start. Thank you!



Is this like https://podsync.net/?


I was actually using Podsync for a while, but in order to have that convert the videos to MP3s you need to pay, whereas this is free. Podsync is much more polished though.


Understand. Thanks for your work and open-sourcing it!
