KUnifiedPush: KDE’s efficient way of delivering notifications to your apps

KUnifiedPush, KDE’s client library for the UnifiedPush protocol, has reached version 1.0.0. KUnifiedPush provides a way to deliver notifications instantly to multiple apps on your devices even if the apps are not running.

Ideal for social media, weather and instant messaging apps, it will also contribute to improving the battery life on your mobile devices.

    @Bro666 I came to post this Just after reading Mr Krause’s post and the background of UnifiedPush. My gripe is because there are already existing frameworks like w3c’s Web Push (which is not addressed in UnifiedPush, as far as I could see) and the native push frameworks of each mobile OS (which are disqualified on privacy reasons). Hence why I said “14 push frameworks”, because KDE is aiming to serve both desktop and mobile with a new standard, inducing even more fragmentation.

      KDE is not introducing a new notification framework. It is using something that already exists, so still barking up the wrong tree.
