Gregory's Server@derekmorr @signalapp I understand that messages are not delivered through notifications. Instead, Signal servers send a message to the application saying, "Hey, wake up, you have something to do."
why UnifiedPush should be implemented?
1. Signal promotes itself as a privacy-focused app. messages may not be sent directly but metadata is still generated so it can and will be utilized
2. The existence of mollysocket, which has over 62,700 container downloads on ghcr.io only, indicates that there is a demand for this
3. Implementing UnifiedPush is not complicated. There are libraries for this protocol (implementing both client and server functionality)
@signalapp @karma 1 is just paranoia, 2 that's a tiny fraction of Signal's estimated userbase, 3 integrating a different notification system in a production app is not trivial
