Telegram's bot API is literally one of the friendliest APIs (of any kind) I've ever seen. It's the first thing I reach for when server-to-mobile notifications are concerned.

It's just as easy to set up as ntfy.sh, except that it doesn't break every other week on iOS.

Interesting. I set up a bunch of slack webhooks for server events that's been working decently well but maybe I'll look at telegram.

This is so true. I don’t like Telegram for a host of reasons, but the bot architecture is second to none. Try creating a bot in Slack. You’ll pull your hair out for hours. Same goes for Discord. Utter nightmare. Telegram? You send a DM and it is basically done.
