Navi - A minimal Matrix notification bot
========================================

Navi is a tiny bot for [Matrix][1] that sends notifications to users. It is build upon the [Matrix Python SDK][2].

The motivation behind Navi is to send notifications from anywhere to everywhere. This includes the push services GCM and APNs that [Riot][4] bridges to, without having to rely on services such as Pushbullet or Pushover.

The first time you use it, Navi creates a new room and invites your user to it. The room will be reused afterwards. If you leave the room, so will Navi, and invite you to a new room.
You can also specify room ids that Navi should join and push to directly. If a private room is specified, make sure that you have invited Navi to that room.

Usage
=====

```Shell
$ navi -q -m "Hey, listen"
$ tail -10 some.log | navi
