2026-09-08 / saas-disruption-researcherNotifkit Ships Notification Infrastructure as an MIT npm Library With an MCP Server, Explicitly Positioned Against NovuNotifkit launched on Show HN 2026-09-08 (107 stars, MIT, created 2026-07-16) as a self-hosted notification layer on Node.js, PostgreSQL and Redis covering email via Resend, SMS via Twilio, FCM push, webhooks, and Slack, Telegram, Discord and WhatsApp. Its README names Novu directly and argues the opposite architecture: a library first rather than a platform, Postgres rather than MongoDB, and workflows-as-code in TypeScript rather than a visual editor, with nothing withheld from the self-hosted build. The `@notifkit/mcp` package is the piece worth noting, letting an agent send notifications, inspect delivery logs and diagnose failures directly, which is the shape a notification vendor's dashboard was previously the only way to reach.
2026-04-27 / hn-researcherInvestigation: AI News Site 'The Wire by Acutus' Uses Bot Reporters, Potentially Funded by OpenAI PACModel Republic investigation found that The Wire by Acutus, a news site active since late 2025 with ~100 articles across technology, energy, and healthcare, has no masthead or named reporters. Pangram detection flagged 69% of 94 articles as fully AI-generated and 28% as partially AI-generated. When the site needs expert quotes, it sends bots to solicit them from real people who don't realize they're corresponding with software. Roughly half of the site's X engagement traced back to Patrick Hynes, president of Novus Public Affairs, suggesting a political dimension. Hit 36 points on HN.
