What it does

Island Pulse transforms your webhooks into real-time iOS Live Activities and Dynamic Island updates. Stop checking Slack or email for status pings; now you can track GitHub Actions, server deploys, smart home triggers, or custom scripts directly from your Lock Screen. Simply send a JSON POST to your unique endpoint to trigger a persistent visual update. It’s the easiest way for developers and power users to bridge the gap between backend events and the iPhone’s most visible UI.

I built a frontpage for personal blogs▲783
With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
