Novu

The open-source notification infrastructure for handling email, SMS, push, and chat with a unified API and UI.

Overview

Novu acts as a middleware layer between your app and various notification channels (Email, SMS, Push, Chat). It provides a centralized notification hub and a customizable in-app notification feed. It is highly extensible and allows for sophisticated workflows like digests and delays.

Trade-offs

vs Resend

Resend is a pure email sender; Novu is a notification *orchestrator* that manages state across multiple channels.

vs Supabase Notifications

Novu is more feature-rich for complex workflows; Supabase is tighter if you already use their full stack.
