Hey Product Hunters! 👋

We're thrilled to introduce Novu Inbox - the open-source, fully customizable notification center component for React apps that was built for builders like you.

As builders ourselves, we know the pain of creating notification systems from scratch. That's why we built a drop-in solution that:
• Takes minutes to implement with our simple React component
• Offers complete customization of UI/UX to match your brand
• Provides real-time notifications with zero backend complexity
• Includes built-in notification preferences management
• Built in-digest engine for things like: "John +5 others left you a comment"

Check out our live demo to see how easily you can add a powerful notification center to your app.

Would love your feedback and questions in the comments!


Shout out to our friends at @Tinybird and @Bucket who are launching today aswell 🚀

Inbox by Novu is an excellent choice for developers looking to implement a robust notification system in their applications with minimal effort

Building a notification system from scratch has always been a frustrating process—real-time updates, user preferences, grouping notifications properly—it’s never as simple as it should be. That’s why Novu Inbox looks so exciting.

The idea of a drop-in React component that’s fully customizable and handles all the backend complexity is a game-changer. No more reinventing the wheel just to get a functional notification center. The built-in digest feature, especially, seems like a smart way to prevent notification overload—finally, a way to avoid spamming users with every single event.

Haven’t tried it yet, but definitely excited to see how well it works!

very cool!! looks like we want that to be part of Formbricks - is it AGPLv3 licensed? 🤓

Could you share more about how Inbox by Novu handles user preferences in real-time?

This looks awesome! Notifications are one of those things every app needs, yet building them from scratch is a massive time sink. 🚀

It's probably the easiest way to add a notification system to React-based apps.

I'm using Novu in my product @LogCentral.io and it is great! Dima and his team have been awesome

This is interesting. I appreciate how Novu prioritizes quality and developer experience.

Novu Inbox seems like a perfect solution for developers looking to save time while building notification systems—love how easy it is to implement and customize! What are some common use cases you’ve seen for the notification digest feature?

This is exactly the kind of plug-and-play component that saves founders and devs so much time. Notifications are a pain to build from scratch, and this drops right in with minimal effort. Real-time updates and user preferences baked in? That’s a win. Thank you and congratulations!

Very exciting for this release. It's interesting to see how you transitioned from Notification infrastructure to Inbox infrastructure in terms of messaging. It makes total sense, and I'm pretty sure it has good potential.

Novu Inbox looks like a must-have for any React app needing a seamless notification system. Congrats on the launch

Fantastic work @dima_grossman and team! Been a joy to follow the journey so far. Onwards 🚀
