Is there an up-to-date package for sending sms or similar as notification?

Personally I’m a big fan of [https://ntfy.sh](https://ntfy.sh) for this sort of thing. It lets you send notifications from anywhere you can make HTTP requests, and you can receive them from the ntfy app.

It’s easy enough to use directly using Downloads.jl or HTTP.jl but I made a small client for it ([GitHub - cjdoris/Ntfy.jl: Julia client for ntfy.sh · GitHub](https://github.com/cjdoris/Ntfy.jl)) to make it even easier. It has some niceties like the `nothrow` argument (to prevent exceptions in sending notifications from killing your long running job) and logging integration. It’s not registered yet.

I asked [a similar question](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/send-notification-my-server-when-computation-is-done/129142) a short while ago. Ended up using ntfy, it is excellent.
