Pushstr? 🤔
I am considering moving Amethyst's Push Notification features to a separate app. If that "decentralization" becomes a thing on Nostr, multiple Nostr clients can use just one Push Notification App that keeps downloading of all events citing the user and forwarding to each local client, including the local relay.
When a notification arrives, the Push App pings your preferred Signer app to decrypt it and shows it on the system tray. If you click on the notification, it opens the Nostr event in your preferred Nostr Client for that event.
The good part is that multiple "Push" apps can exist with different ways to address the need for push notifications (using Google Services, NFTY, etc)
Then we would have broken down into Amber (Signer), Citrine (Local Relay), Amethyst (and other clients) and the Push App.
What do you think? nostr:nprofile1qqs827g8dkd07zjvlhh60csytujgd3l9mz7x807xk3fewge7rwlukxgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhszrnhwden5te0dehhxtnvdakz7qgswaehxw309ahx7um5wghx6mmd9usjfpck
My immediate concern is that for the majority of people having to install and learn multiple apps to use one service is probably overwhelming.
I would start in refactoring all possible push code out if amethyst into an agnostic package and build pushstr as optional for amethyst.
Having everything in one app is easier, but it's also extremely centralizing. Incentives are bad.
having decentralised app that people "can't" use is also bad 😉
What I am saying is to leave the option, at least as first. When Nostr gets to 100x today's weekly active users it will be different.
