To the author--do you have any plans on how to work around that?
Personal i wouldn't rely on those notifications and just stick with good working notification services.
Now, I do not plan wars with Yemen but still want to keep my private conversations with my wife about my furniture, well... private. For solving notifications I can just do what I do now: selfhost matrix and apprise.
So the whole solution seems interesting, though I fail to see point of using it whatsoever.
If you could self host it yourself too? Yes but like that? No.
I use it for RSS news, device notifications, debugging,...
This so good, I'm afraid it might go away.

curl -d 'something' <your url>
Very good
Why is this information not present on the front page?
And why does somebody who thinks people would start using and relying on it not immediately understand that that's important information?

"Receive messages on Signal via a simple API. Perfect for notifications and alerts."
"curl -d ' Houthi alert' https://signalbot.one/api/..."
If you don't know what "API" or "webhooks" are, then you're probably not the target audience. That's fine. Your aunt probably doesn't know what an "enterprise workload engine"[1] is, but that doesn't mean vmware needs to provide a dumbed down description so everyone can understand.

This is "hacker news". A hacker is typically interested in how something works (under the hood).
If a hacker asks "how does this mobile phone work?" then they are not looking for "well here you press a button and then here you speak" but something about radio waves and cell towers and mobile operating systems.

When I looked, this information wasn't there. Only the "buy me a coffee" link. Now it is, thanks.
Your self-description is "entrepreneur love for automation". Is it fair to assume that if this takes off then you are planning to introduce paid plans (perhaps with some revenue sharing with the signal folks to lift rate limits for you)?
Like... Sure! let me just give you my PHONE NUMBER THAT LINKS DIRECTLY BACK TO MY REAL-WORLD IDENTITY so that I can send "secure" text messages.
Signal promoters are clowns.
