According to the release:

Adds experimental PostgreSQL support

The code was written by Cursor and Claude

14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks

This makes me uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. I am now looking for alternatives.

Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

Uh. I'd really prefer if people experimented with new technology a bit more cautiously and not directly jump to "the biggest release [...] ever done".

They just replied:

What gave you the idea that this was a full rewrite? I moved things around with AI and added postgres support for the queries. Nobody has ever reviewed and tested anything more thoroughly than I did with this branch.

You are twisting what it actually is. You are assuming something that is not true.

This makes me think that they didn't review or test it at all, lmao

This is the biggest release I've ever done on the server. It's 14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed

Thanks for the link! As a short aside for the other people here: Try not to spam developers. That usually achieves the opposite and makes them miserable, when we want them to not burn out, and write good software for us. A thumbs-up emoji is the correct reaction for the average person. Or for the pros - a code-review highlighting specific issues within the code.
