Are you all going to go mad if I add a notification card to tell people to install nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhs79prlk?

Then we can add another 2 cards to tell them to install Pokey and Amber via ZapStore.

If that works well, we can delete our Google and UnifiedPush notification code and rely only on Pokey for them.

I love the idea. But please keep UnifiedPush! I wish someone implemented UnifiedPush over nostr

The main issue is that if the user has inbox relays that AUTH, the server cannot auth as the user and thus notifications never show up. :(

Couldn't you have an npub just for the notifications, you then giftwrap to that npub and further giftwrap to the user's npub.

That way you don't know who the notification is actually for (its gift wrapped to a unique npub that's only used for that), and then it's further wrapped to the user, so you don't need auth nor trust from relays, it can be pushed to any public relay

And maybe you rotate that npub. Increase the derivation index every day

That requires all the other NIP-17 players to support separate key aliaes. We have a PR open in the NIP repo, but I don't think it is going to happen.

Not all of them, only the ones implementing the UnifiedPush over nostr spec

No. It requires all the senders of DMs to use the alias key that the server is also using.

Not the prime thing...

Battery optimization it's a better focus...

Ask forgiveness not permission, that's my policy

Do it! Do it! Do it!

What's wrong about UnifiedPush?👀

If you use an inbox relay that requires AUTH, our server cannot see your events to push down to the phone via UnifiedPush.

Working on app packs!

Just give me a way to open ZapStore directly in a given app screen. I want to add a link to install Amber and Pokey.

zapstore://appId

App Id in Nostr or package name?

Package name for now, in the new version its different though (an naddr)

Can you keep both working if I ship before the new version?

Yes

Will be adding fallback to web soon

Don't spam us with it. Show it once, in a cool way.

But I feel pokey is going to blast our batteries.

Is this a good time to ask how to handle notifications

Well .... If you do that you're making everyone who used Google reinstall do they can update using zapstore.

Need a guide for basic users, like "here are the steps on how to set up pokey if you want to receive notifications for DMs or reaction/comments on your posts". Those are probably the most common use-cases for new users coming from social media platforms.

I like to think I'm technically inclined, but after downloading Pokey and interacting with it it's no obvious what I need to do next and is going to require me to do a lot more research than I have time for a the moment.
