The free and open Lisp-powered notification nexus : https://codeberg.org/jjba23/pingwing

Do you want to work the complexity away of sending e-mail, Slack or other notifications, from every other program? Specially if you use a (micro)service oriented architecture?

pingwing, a key component of the jointhefreeworld ecosystem, emerges as a robust and extensible solution. Architected in the elegant and powerful dialect of Lisp known as Guile Scheme, this tool gives you power (via REST API and more) to become the central notification system for your platform.

At its core, pingwing exposes a programmatic interface (and more!) allowing you to dispatch messages, electronic mail, and critical alerts with finesse. Forget juggling disparate notification mechanisms; pingwing harmonizes these streams, routing them to your chosen endpoints.

Initial support includes SMTP for email delivery, with a pending integration for Slack
