Stripe charged a customer; your phone knew in 200ms

Your hoody-exec endpoint receives Stripe webhooks. It writes the event to SQLite, then POSTs to hoody-notifications: summary: "$49: alex@acme.com", body: "Pro plan, monthly", category: "revenue". End of handler.

The display tab you keep on your phone home screen: saved as a PWA shortcut: surfaces the notification through the browser's web push. You're walking the dog. Your watch buzzes. You glance: the company made $49 while you were thinking about anything else.

The reversal: Stripe has its own emails, but they arrive on email time and look like every other Stripe email. The Slack-bot integration costs a workspace you don't have. The custom dashboard takes a weekend you don't want to spend. A POST /notify is one line.

Some things deserve a notification. The first dollar of every day is one of them.

Your founder's dashboard is a notification.
