Got it, thanks! What do you think about the short polling idea? It’d use a bit more bandwidth and battery, but users wouldn’t have to whitelist an intermediate. Plus, it’d take some load off Amethyst’s notification servers. I’d be cool with that trade-off if it’s technically doable. 

 I don't know... People already complain we use too much battery today. Keeping a service running will definitely make things worse.. 

 Got it. It would meed to be optional of course, and likely off by default. But I would enable it if It meant I could use mh personal relay exclusively for DMs and still receive notifications.  

 Interesting. Maybe we can start to develop it to see how it goes. 

 Yes, for sure. If you don't get to it first, I might take a stab at it myself in a couple of weeks. I'm not much of a mobile developer, but hopefully, my "backend" Kotlin skills can at least get it to a first draft. 

 I would be willing to try it regardless of battery consumption, if you give it a whirl. I'm using a personal relay from relay.tools exclusively for everything and get no notifications at all.
