@danh @crazycells Maybe? I have a 4 year old proof-of-concept plugin that made it to testing but then I just plain didn't work on Apple devices, so the plugin (a private one) was abandoned outright.
It's based off of firebase.
There are no licensing issues, so I can open-source it for review if need be, but I cannot guarantee that it'll even work.

Hi @julian, I'm planning to work on one anyway. It's always better to start off with something already existed.
I'm not familar with the stack yet and just started looking into other notification plugins.
I'm actually using pwa app on android made by pwabuilder.com to reply your comment. It's not bad at all.
Ntfy is great but it requires users to download third party app. Works but not ideal.
Can you share the code please?

I agree.
But I guess, ideally, we would have all three plugins, ntfy, firebase and, ios-counterpart of the firebase... So, users can decide which one to use...
we are waiting for ios notification plugin, because we have nearly a 50-50 ratio of ios to android users... so we cannot activate it for half but not the rest, they would react
... but definitely would not mind paying for firebase and ios-counterpart plugin... -

great to hear this
please let me know when it is ready to test, so I can start testing

@crazycells I'd also be interested in this

@phenomlab @danh @crazycells ok, will open source the code later today.
Firebase is just the backend platform/service. You'll be able to use it to send push notifications iOS on it now (hopefully)

@bh4-tech @crazycells The plugin has now been open sourced.

There is no guarantee that it works as intended, and given that the code is 4 years old, it likely will need some updates to work with v3.x

@julian thanks a bunch @julian ... on an unrelated note, I do not get notification on the forum or on ntfy when you tag me anymore... I believe it is related to what @baris wrote here before... https://community.nodebb.org/message/71603
user mentions in chat rooms not working · Issue #12521 · NodeBB/NodeBB
// on master matches [ '@baris' ] after slugify [ 'baris' ] // on activitypub branch matches [ '@baris' ] after slugify [ '@baris' ] After that mentions plugin can't find a userslug for @baris and no notification is sent.

@crazycells Thanks for the reminder. I'll take a look.
