UnifiedPush is steadily improving and growing in the freedom-phones ecosystem. Its key developers create standards, implementations, and contributions to related projects. A recent update brings full compatibility with WebPush.

The main ecosystem for usage is android-compatibles (LineageOS, Murena-/e/OS, CalyxOS, GrapheneOS...). We will reach out, show integrations they could adopt and solicit their involvement.

UnifiedPush: I'm in touch in their matrix rooms.

The main ecosystem for usage is android-compatibles (LineageOS, Murena-/e/OS, CalyxOS, GrapheneOS...). We are in touch with representatives from /e/OS and others, through the UnifiedPush rooms and their issue trackers.

Other freedom-phone ecosystems include GNU-Linux-compatibles (PostmarketOS, Purism-Librem...) and SailfishOS (Jolla). Not sure if they have any push messaging functionality of their own yet. We will let them known about it and see if there is interest from their side, as the technology should be cross-platform.

The "WebPush" system is another side of the push notifications ecosystem. Currently, each web browser vendor runs their own push server. If the browser were modified, these web pushes could alternatively use a UP connection, reducing two connections to one. S1m plans to submit patches for Firefox-android to use UP.

Some android-compatibles use MicroG which implements an interface to Google's FCM, for apps that insist on using it within an otherwise free-software handset. MicroG might be interested in offering UP as well.

We will publicise the work to these actors through blog posts etc.
