There are two types of devs:
1. Those who think building alerts are easy
2. Those who have actually built alerts
Itâs way more complicated than you think. Do your users a favor. Use our alerts stack, & spend all your engineering time on sending your users great, useful alerts.
Connected with a team recently about our alerts stack. Got to them just a bit too late, they were already nearly done with an in-house build of their own. By the time the call ended we were talking about how much time they could have saved if theyâd known about our alerts stack. They may still swap us in instead.
Iâm gonna keep saying it: alerts are not a trivial thing to build. User subscriptions, topic & channel management, paginated APIs for an in-app inbox, unread badges & read statuses, CTAs & analytics. Bundled push notifications from Firebase (yes, we bundle push notifs).
And that has nothing to do with delivery. Want to reach a large user base very quickly? That requires some sophisticated delivery & queuing infrastructure. We power alerts for @jup_mobile, the fastest mobile app in crypto (@weremeow did I say that right). We've handled 100s of millions of requests for them, including all of their Firebase push notifs, without skipping a beat. We can handle your user base.
Want to add email, text, telegram support? Each of those is a new channel integration & set of configuration APIs for user preferences.
And thatâs just the alerts plumbing. You still donât have any *actually good* alerts, which themselves take time to build. And if you screw that up youâll churn a ton of users, who will unsubscribe & turn off push notifications for your app, and now youâve lost one of your most precious engagement tools.
All of the above is 100% boilerplate code that is not what makes your company great. If you use our alerts stack, youâre done with the infra in a fraction of the time, & can then focus all of your attention on sending *great* alerts: personalized, timely alerts from your backend in 1 line of code, or even have your growth & marketing teams use our dashboard to send product updates & company announcements.
And the final cherry on top: our alerts stack is built from the ground up for crypto, youâll get reach in a novel new way with our Universal Inbox đ„, which is live today in @jup_mobile as Radar. Teams like @jito_sol & @sanctumso are using the Universal Inbox as a new comms channel alongside Twitter, email & others.
In other words: our Universal Inbox more like SMTP than just web2 alerts SaaS. With our stack, youâre communicating with a userâs *wallet*, & it follows them wherever they go.
Seriously. Choose life. Just use our alerts stack. Our docs got a huge revamp & are crazy easy to read (s/o @bjoerndotsol), or DM me if you need help getting set up.
