Disclaimer: I&#x27;m cofounder of Hooks (gethooksapp.com), an alerts-for-everything ios app. We went public beta 2 weeks ago.<p>Talking about MVPs, I hate myself for not having started with something like this. Instead of creating an web form where you can ask the users what they want (and giving the service, if not its not mvp!), we waited until we had an stable good looking ios app (with 35 different types of alerts, dynamic forms etc etc) -4 months of hard work.<p>FYI, we used surveys (we did ~1000) for validating the idea and getting new alert ideas but that&#x27;s nothing compared with real users feedback. That&#x27;s something you can&#x27;t get until you launch something that looks real (like getnotifiedapp.com does). In two weeks we&#x27;ve learnt more about our app than ever before, including surveys, private testflights and so. Lesson learned (and this is something we cannot say noone told us, its at every modern startup book)<p>Good luck with this project!

There are tons of notification services out there, but most of them focus on one particular niche (such as stock prices, social mentions, monitoring news sites, etc.)<p>On the one hand, I like how broad this is. It purports to handle a bunch of different types of events, and all you have to do is describe what you want in plain English.<p>On the other hand, I&#x27;m skeptical about how well a service can execute when it has to handle such a broad range of alert types.<p>I&#x27;ve written a lot of notification-type stuff (e.g. monitor a Twitter feed for when my book titles are mentioned, monitor a bank account for unusual activity, monitor a blog without an RSS feed for new posts), and it&#x27;s definitely not a one-size-fits-all type of service. If GetNotified has to write new code for each monitoring request, I would imagine the subscriptions would have to run for a good long while before they make a profit.<p>P.S.: A little free copy editing help: There&#x27;s a typo in &quot;If you are in doubt, just submit the request and will let you know if it can be done or not.&quot;

Is this an MVP or does it actually work automatically?<p>I noticed the part where it says it has to be reviewed by a human and then I thought it would be way easier to get notified by text instead of email.<p>Boom! Feature request ha!

If you&#x27;re interested in a self-hosted solution, much of this can be accomplished with Huginn. <a href="https://github.com/cantino/huginn" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;cantino&#x2F;huginn</a>

This is a great way to find ideas for a niche project. Awesome.

any ideas to make a public feed API of completed notifications? That would be really great!
