Hi Notifo users,
This is Chad, founder of Notifo. I am reaching out today to announce some sad news.
Over the past 20 months, Notifo has tried to be the best notification platform for multiple endpoints including iPhone, Android, Growl, Email, and a few more. Notifo has been my full-time job during this time.
However, Notifo never gained enough traction with publishers or consumers to make enough revenue to pay the bills and sustain it as a company. As such, I have had to seek full-time employment elsewhere in order to pay my own living expenses.
What does this mean for you and Notifo? Practically, it means that I will no longer be working on Notifo. For now, Notifo will continue to run as-is with no further plans for development but will probably be shut down as a result. I will try to keep it alive as long as possible, but please know that it could go away at any moment. I will do my best to provide at least 30 days notice before Notifo is officially shut down.
While Notifo will continue to run in the interim, I encourage you to find alternative methods to accomplish your notification needs.
Some alternatives include:
- Boxcar for iPhone/iPad - http://boxcar.io/
- Prowl for iPhone/iPad - http://www.prowlapp.com/
- SMS with Twilio - http://twilio.com/
- Urban Airship - http://urbanairship.com/
- Xtify - http://xtify.com/
I want to thank all of you for using Notifo. I'm deeply sorry about this result.
There may be a few more posts regarding this situation. Please feel free to email me at [chad at notifo dot com] with any questions you may have.
Thanks for all your support,
-Chad
