Shoutrrr alternative (sh.itjust.works)

Basically the title. I was trying Beszel monitoring, which supports alerting via Shoutrrr, but with Shoutrrr being an abandoned project, are there any well-maintained forks that the community has agreed to use?

If not, what are your recommendations? In familiar with all things sysadmin, but I'm new to notification tools, hence me asking. Bonus points for single binary deployment and frugal use of resources; I'm sick of running a stack of fat container images. Boring is good.

Thank you everyone!

You could always use ntfy.sh if you are wanting to keep it light weight, I know there seems to be a heavy following and happy community with it. I personally use Gotify which has been nice and easy to use and just works for my needs. :) I looked at the shoutrrr repo and it seems to be either abandoned or just no longer updating maybe because their is no need to in the Dev's eyes. They also develop Watchtower which hasn't been touched in about 2 years ago. I have never had any issues with Watchtower so I think it may not need much maintenance. I do see though that they are working on a new project: https://github.com/containrrr/shepherd but it's also a bit stale.

I am not saying that ntfy is responsible or even the cause but since I tried it my notifications on Android are beyond screwed. I removed it and still ... But it would be nice to have and since a lot of people are using it successfully I am sure it's a viable alternative.

Shoutrrr works perfectly well with beszel.

I have no reason to expect any different, but I would have a better night sleep if Shoutrrr were still actively maintained. I get that there may be no features to add, and I'm OK with that, but there are >50 unresolved issues that no one is taking care of, and I would assume that every software needs to be tested against new versions of libs, frameworks, OS releases etc., and I'm not OK with a project not doing that.
