-A simple web service to push notifications to me without authentication.
-
-## Rationale
-
-I started working with [Patchbay](https://www.shore.co.il/blog/spam_me/) to send
-notifications from long running processes on different machines. I opened this
-publicly as an experiment in [my blog](https://www.shore.co.il/blog/spam_me/)
-and after a month I saw it [wasn't exploited in any
-way](https://www.shore.co.il/blog/spam-me-update/) (still true today). However,
-I would only get notifications on my laptop when it was running. Also, Patchbay
-had some downtime and I'm keen on self-hosting. So I'm going to bypass
-authentication to allow anonymous push notifications with this service.
+A simple web service to push notifications to me without authentication. See
+[this blog post](https://www.shore.co.il/blog/spam-me-notifications/) for the
+reason for this service' existence.
