>log in to commentWe've been creating apps since 2021, and with more than 5 published apps, we always faced the same issue: scheduling push notifications was a laborious task that involved coding each time we needed one and then trying to understand the code to remember when it would actually be displayed. It was a nightmare. I tried using Firebase's UI, but it was limited to ONLY 10 scheduled notifications, handled recurrence horribly, and most of the times, notifications didn’t even arrive. Other solutions were either extremely expensive (hundreds or thousands of dollars) or too complicated for something as simple as a recurring notification. That’s why we built CNotify. It started as a tool for ourselves to use in all our projects, and we quickly realized others were facing the same issue. Anyone else struggling with this?
CNotify lets you schedule and repeat push notifications using a calendar view with minimal code.
