ntfy is a simple HTTP pub-sub notification service. You pick a topic name, subscribe to it in the ntfy mobile app, and set NTFY_TOPIC, NTFY_ALLOWED_USERS, and NTFY_HOME_CHANNEL in Hermes, all usually the same topic. The adapter uses httpx, already a dependency, so there is no SDK or daemon. ntfy has no native identity, so the topic name is the identity. Lock the topic down by self-hosting, using a token, or picking a long unguessable name. Messages cap at 4096 characters with no threads or attachments.
