@emieljanson Yeah, this is something I just HAD to do. My girlfriend didn't quite understand why it would drive more sales though..
Great work, super interesting and seems like easy to implement. Looking forward to iOS integration, multiple keys, turning notifications on and off etc.
FWIW, I'm unable to access the site from my ISP
I checked http://www.downforeveryoneorjust... and it's reported as being up.
Maybe it has something to do with the .events TLD? Happy to help debug from my end if you want, @kevgroenendaal
Looks like we both picked up the name right xd. Could be interesting adding Hooks to Hooks app as a channel...
@kozkozkoz Yeah, I noticed it today. Perhaps I could change it to Hooks for Mac. Not sure it will stick though. Good luck with your Hooks :)
I just wanted to share that Hooks will be back at full price starting tomorrow morning.
Update 1: Javascript - Hooks no longer requires jQuery. Thanks to @zackbloom.
Update 2: Node.js - Hide your public API key from anyone using node.js.
Download: https://www.npmjs.org/package/no...
Thanks to @frnwtr
Update 3: cURL (Python) - @charliehield provided a way to create a hook with cURL and/or Python. Thanks!

Hey guys. I'm the developer of Hooks. If you have any questions just get in touch. Cheers all.
Thoughts for updates:
- REST call
- On/Off notifications (better notification control basically)
- App that contains all the notifications + filtering.
- iOS integration
- Multiple API keys
- Upload your own Icon
- Faceless. No Dock Icon.
- Auto sign in on Launch + Logout.
- Shorten link and implement a hook in it.
More thoughts are welcome!
@kevgroenendaal How about adding some sneaky Nickelback notifications (as opposed to just Justin Bieber messages) every once in a while, just to confuse those who tried the free version? ;)
@kevgroenendaal You should create an in-app purchase to push notification's with the lyrics of Megan Trainor's inspiring song about the importance of bass over treble.
@frnwtr I've been thinking about this. I'm working on all of it as we speak.
I like it so far. Any chance of an SSL-enabled endpoint? Or am I missing something?
Hooks is awesome. Would love to see things like Hipchat / Campfire integration, in the future. This way the notification could be shared. (Thanks for the PH invite, by the way @kevgroenendaal.)
@michaeltomko I need to take care of the features mentioned in the first post before I start creating API's for API's, haha. But it would indeed me neat!
