isthepatchout

A website that automatically notifies when a new patch is released.

It also supports notifications via the Web Push API and Discord Webhooks. Notifications are sent via the notifications service.

This is accomplished by using Supabase and their real-time services to watch the patches table for new patches, and then doing what needs to be done based on it!

Removing notifications

Discord

1. Go to the channel's settings
   
2. Go to the integrations
   
3. Delete the isthepatchout integration
   

Web Push

Click the button that does it

or...

Deny the website access to notifications - google it!

Privacy & GDPR

No PII data is stored. It only stores the data needed to send notifications, which is either:

• A Discord Webhook URL (e.g. https://discord.com/api/webhooks/{random number}/{random string})
• Web Push API URL (e.g. https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send/{random string})

as well as which patch number was last sent to the recipient.
