Since launch, the most common first project hasn't been what I expected. I assumed smart home sensors. It's 3D printers.
The pattern: an ESP32 wired to the printer, one HTTP POST when the print finishes, a notification on the phone at 2am. Total firmware footprint is about a dozen lines, and the sketch is in our public examples repo.
A few other builds that came through the delivery logs and community submissions:
A garage door that complains after ten minutes open. A mailbox with a magnetic contact switch that pings when real mail arrives.

NotifyBridge is the ultimate backend built for makers, smart home hobbyists, and developers who just want their hardware to work. Instead of spending hours fighting with heavy mobile SDKs, platform certificates, or massive cloud dashboards, our lightweight REST API lets any ESP32, Arduino, or Raspberry Pi project drop a simple webhook to trigger instant mobile alerts.
