    The thing is on stupid phones you have to install a separate app, that lowers too much the adoption

      are there any notifications that don’t come from separate apps? System notifs perhaps, but one could argue they come from the “system apps”. I figure this system is specifically designed for personalised notifications from things one administer independently. Such as backups, home-server monitoring, sovereign home appliances etc… I’m not codelitrary enough to figure out whether this can be built in to a 3rd party app, but i imagine it to be possible but would require a server somewhere eitherway. Kind of like NextcloudServices offers (Simply fetch Nextcloud notifications on devices without Google Play services) https://f-droid.org/packages/com.polar.nextcloudservices/

      Otherwise the closest thing would be leveraging the browser notification API. Still an app, but at least one that most users have installed (see https://fed.dyne.org/comment/53589)

          ah yes, ametyst also (nostr client, that’s how i found out about it) I guess what i wondered was, to what extend it would be possible to integrate the system inside an app, without having the user install an extra app…
