UnifiedPush support has been merged into Element Android!
Element is the flagship @matrix client and one of the biggest apps that will soon support UnifiedPush!
More info:
- this is only merged into develop now, coming to the stable version for all users might take a few weeks
F-Droid users can pick between Background polling (like the status quo) and using a UnifiedPush distributor
Play store users can pick between FCM (Google's Firebase Cloud Messaging) and using a UnifiedPush distributor
If you're new to UnifiedPush, the easiest way to get started is to install the 'ntfy' app (available on #fdroid and #googleplaystore) and open it once.
Then, any apps that support UnifiedPush ( https://unifiedpush.org/users/apps/ ) will be able to use UnifiedPush once the apps are restarted!
For more information regarding other distributor choices and self-hosting options, see https://unifiedpush.org/users/distributors/
@unifiedpush Are there any moves to get #ntfy to use a username and password? I've held off using it so far as the security of only using a topic name for #unifiedpush seems kind of iffy.
