Why is Pokey so good?
Pokey connects directly into your inbox relays and keeps the connection open at all times.
Every other notification system is using a server that watches relays for new events and sends them down via Google/Apple/UnifiedPush systems.
It's WAY faster than ANY of these push systems.
There is no restriction on message sizes or frequency. No payment plans for servers and no algorithmic delays from push providers.
It can authenticate in your Private Inbox relays for DMs because it can get Amber to sign as of you. No watching server can do that.
It also decentralizes notifications from Clients. There is no need to run 15 different notification systems, one for each client you want to use.
Once notifications are downloaded, it can pass those events to the appropriate apps to display. You can choose a default app per event kind. And if you don't have an app registered for the event, it can display the notification itself.
It's a win-win-win-win-win situation.

This is what i get when try to open notification from pokey on amethyst. nostr:nprofile1qqsxg45ph8gx0vdrvtzta6xal7v86frx6jvstsnvhrlvtehmwwh4epqpzemhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejz7qg7waehxw309ahx7um5wgkhqatz9emk2mrvdaexgetj9ehx2ap0qydhwumn8ghj7mn0wd68ytnnv968xarjv9kxjcfwvdhk6tc79x08a

early days..
If I have Amethyst closed on my phone and I have integrated PoeKey, when a notification event happens, is my IP address or any information exchanged with any relays or otherwise, do I need to have internal/external tor/orbot on?
Pokey doesn't have Orbot yet, so the relays that it is connecting to know your IP.
i just noticed today that amethyst now has a tor client built in... very nice
Yes, its just not implemented yet 😁
Looking forward to seeing it up on nostr:nprofile1qqs83nn04fezvsu89p8xg7axjwye2u67errat3dx2um725fs7qnrqlgpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d5hsftatcy =3
Last nail in the coffin for nostr on iOS
y?
There is a lot that iOS won’t allow us to do. We don’t have Amber (bunker secret storage), NWC, unified notifications (pokey), and more…
Thanks, do you have any instructions or a link to set this up? I assume Pokey also works in IOS, I-Phone?
It will never work on iOS. It's too locked down.
if it fetched the events as well so they didn't have to be separately fetched by multiple clients that would be amazing... might require a bunker thing tho
Amber is the bunker. Citrine saves the events on disk.
Okay I just downloaded it. It's fast!
I'm a little confused. Pokey is just an app to deliver push notifications for Nostr clients? And it requires that I also use Amber? I currently use Primal
It doesn't require Amber, but it delivers push notifications faster than Primal/Amethyst
Should I disable notifications on amethyst if I use pokey? Currently have ntfy.
somebody could write a UnifiedPush system that sends nostr notifications and then you can get all your notifications for apps that support UnifiedPush via Pokey!
This is the type of bullishness I am here for.
We are winning.

Everyone raving about Pokey, but here I am still struggling getting any notifications with it. Don't remove Amethyst push notification too soon!.
Oh so its circumventing all the battery saving features of the system
Can't find it in zap store, am I doin something wrong?
#nostr micro apps environment going forward!
PS: when nutzap wallet? ☺️
