Instead of being one NFTY push for every Nostr app in your phone, which requires downloading the same event multiple times, this new app keeps just one service, one push and once it downloads, the app broadcasts to all Nostr apps installed.
Ah! Thank for the explanation. I wonder if this could use an already installed UP provider instead of it's own webservice? One less app with an always open web connection.
The issue with UP is that any relay that requires AUTH cannot be used because the online service to push events down via UP doesn't know your nsec. So, things like private inbox for DMs cannot be seen and thus you will never see DM notifications unless you use a public server, which is a privacy nightmare.
I hadn't considered encrypted messages. I guess I see the use case now. I see myself out now 😛
