What is go-pushbullet?

go-pushbullet is a tool written in the Go programming language that lets apps send notifications to phones and other devices. It connects to a service called Pushbullet, which acts as a bridge for pushing links, notes, and even text messages directly to Android devices and other platforms. At a high level, a developer provides their Pushbullet API key, and the library handles the communication. It can look up what devices are connected to an account and then send a note to a specific device. Beyond simple notes, it can also send SMS text messages to a target phone number. The library also supports sending pushes to specific devices by their nickname rather than dealing with technical identifiers, which makes the code easier to read. Channels are supported too. A channel in this context is like a broadcast feed that multiple people can subscribe to. The library can fetch a list of channel subscriptions and push a note to everyone on a specific channel, or it can target a channel directly by its tag name. This would be useful for a developer building a backend system in Go who wants to get quick alerts on their personal phone. For example, if a server crashes or hits a critical error, the app could use this library to shoot a notification to the developer's device with a message about what happened. A founder or product manager working with a Go developer might ask them to wire this up so they get a ping on their phone whenever a new user signs up or an order comes in. The README is fairly sparse, mostly just showing code examples rather than explaining the broader vision. But it covers the core functionality clearly: notes, SMS, devices, and channels are the main features available.
