What is the difference between Pushover and other similar services? Do you need a Pushover client in the phone to handle such notifications?
Yes, you need to install their client, which then acts as a generic receiver of notifications, but you can customise them a bit. Personal license is $5 for life. It is too new for me to have a real opinion about it, but it looks cool & simple.
Nonetheless, the conciseness of Pharo with Zinc never ceases to amaze me.
Yeah, that is why I keep posting snippets like that.

Just a little snippet I wanted to share. Pushover (https://pushover.net) is a general service that delivers notifications to iOS, Android and desktop devices via an API (and an email gateway as well). It is really easy to get started with.
This is how you do it from Pharo:
ZnClient new systemPolicy; url: 'https://api.pushover.net/1/messages.json'; accept: ZnMimeType applicationJson; contentReader: [ :entity | NeoJSONObject fromString: entity contents ]; contentWriter: [ :object | ZnEntity json: object asString ]; contents: (NeoJSONObject new token: 'ax4o55o6g5imb1a6st3m9x34hqu44z'; user: 'uv2fovx3f9sp3rgssrupvjgvdo8quw'; title: 'Test 3'; message: ('This is a test @ {1} by {2}.' format: { DateAndTime now. SystemVersion current })); post.
It will look like this on your mobile device (just seconds later):

Nothing special, but pretty handy.
