so do any mastodon mobile apps do push notifications yet?

i'm using mastalab rn and i'm pretty sure it only does pull notifications? i don't see any of the other apps mentioning that they do push and i reckon that's something they'd be bragging about if they had it? hmm

@00dani Tootdon appears to do so. ^_^

@porsupah gasp!! that's what i get for steadfastly ignoring all mastodon apps that aren't open source i guess

hm. it sounds like they're achieving those push notifications in a rather unscrupulous way, idk if i'm comfortable with that play.google.com/store/apps/det

@00dani Wouldn't that be required for the function?

@porsupah i don't think so? it MIGHT be necessary for the actual notifications to go thru tootdon servers to be delivered (e.g., instance -> webhook -> tootdon -> your phone) but that should be entirely achievable without giving them your whole access token :/

@porsupah and actually, you don't need the notifications' content to go thru their servers either! it'll work just as well if you send an empty "ping" as a push notification and have the app pull down the actual content locally, which is apparently what amaroq does

amaroq is ios-exclusive sadly tho
