Just released a new micro-app for bridging nostr to email: Anchor Alerts.
The goal is to create a notifications solution for nostr that doesn't require the user to install any additional apps or software, and which helps developers retain users by reminding them that they exist.
It uses coracle's custom feeds to fetch notes and build them into a digest. The anchor app is just a proof of concept — I'm going to release a new version of Flotilla which uses anchor as the backend for notifications.
If you want to add email notifications to your app, give anchor a try. You can even set up a custom handler to send users to your app instead of coracle.
Give it a try at https://anchor.coracle.social and let me know what you think!
Source code is available at https://github.com/coracle-social/anchor and a draft NIP PR is open at https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/1796
