Hey Product Hunters! 👋
We're thrilled to introduce Novu Inbox - the open-source, fully customizable notification center component for React apps that was built for builders like you.
As builders ourselves, we know the pain of creating notification systems from scratch. That's why we built a drop-in solution that:
• Takes minutes to implement with our simple React component
• Offers complete customization of UI/UX to match your brand
• Provides real-time notifications with zero backend complexity
• Includes built-in notification preferences management
• Built in-digest engine for things like: "John +5 others left you a comment"
Check out our live demo to see how easily you can add a powerful notification center to your app.
Would love your feedback and questions in the comments!
Shout out to our friends at @Tinybird and @Bucket who are launching today aswell 🚀
Novu
@masump Currently, notifications can be digested in a time-based manner to provide a timely update without overburdening the user's email. Do you have some usecase examples for this?
Bucket
@dima_grossman thanks for the shout-out, Dima! although we're currently in the middle of a Battle Royale with folks at Tinybird — looking at you @cameron_archer — enjoy your launch day!!

This sounds amazing! Can't wait to try it out in my next project. Love the idea of real-time notifications without the backend hassle. Great job!
Novu
@will_woo Thank you Will!
Novu
@will_woo Thank you! We would love to see what you build :)

hmm, interesting approach to notifications. as someone who's hand-rolled these systems too many times, the 6-line implementation is appealing. open source is a plus. might be worth checking if the digest engine can handle custom grouping logic beyond the basic "+x others" pattern. could save some headaches on my current project.
Novu
@stainlu it sure can, and comping up is a big improvement to this specific thing, to ensure ultimate ease of use, and flexibility when needed. Check out some of the upcoming about this.
Novu
Thank you@stainlu ! It was one of the main reasons to why we built Novu in the first place. Had to reinvent the wheel more than 3 times in our previous projects. Looking forward for your feedback!
@stainlu that's great callout, and already on our roadmap. thanks!
@stainlu Thanks for this great input!
Love the seamless integration! Saves dev's like mine. 😄

@dineshan_sithamparanathan Thank you 🚀
Novu
@dineshan_sithamparanathan 🙏
@dineshan_sithamparanathan It's honestly too easy to implement to ignore.
Mute Me
Very exciting for this release. It's interesting to see how you transitioned from Notification infrastructure to Inbox infrastructure in terms of messaging. It makes total sense, and I'm pretty sure it has good potential.
Novu
@alex_barashkov we couldn't have done it without you and the team ❤️
@alex_barashkov Thank you Alex!

This is exactly the kind of plug-and-play component that saves founders and devs so much time. Notifications are a pain to build from scratch, and this drops right in with minimal effort. Real-time updates and user preferences baked in? That’s a win. Thank you and congratulations!
Novu
@albattran Thank you!
@albattran 🤩🤩
Novu
@albattran Thanks Samir!! What are you building there, I see the launching soon badge :D

Novu Inbox seems like a perfect solution for developers looking to save time while building notification systems—love how easy it is to implement and customize! What are some common use cases you’ve seen for the notification digest feature?
Novu
Thank you@jonurbonas ! Digest is very common when unpredictable volume of triggers can happen and result in an email or another notification, for example:
Social interactions (comments, likes, etc..)
Status updates for things like watched projects, cards, issues
System based alerts (Elevated error rate, rate limiting)
etc...
I'm using Novu in my product @LogCentral.io and it is great! Dima and his team have been awesome
Novu
@gonzagued Thank you so much for the support ❤️
@gonzagued Thank you! That's great to hear :)
HabitGo
This looks awesome! Notifications are one of those things every app needs, yet building them from scratch is a massive time sink. 🚀
Novu
Thank you@kui_jason !
Novu
@kui_jason you are spot on! A quick question, from your experience, what is the biggest time time sink when building this in-house?
Wilco
This looks awesome! Can I customize this to my look and feel?
@on
Yes, pretty much everything can be customized, be it bell, notification item or color, branding etc.
checkout these two documentation links

I'm not a developer, but this looks incredible! Will be sharing with our product and dev teams to see if it is something we can utilise.
Novu
@joshua_lynch Thank you Joshua! Looking forward to what you will build with it 🚀
