    I still want to know if MQTT already did this & UnifiedPush is just a startup trying to reimplement the same concept

      IMHO UnifiedPush is just a poor re-implementation of WebPush which is an open and distributed standard that supports (and in the browser requires, so support is universal) E2EE.

      UnifiedPush would be better as a framework for WebPush providers and a client API. But use the same protocol and backends as WebPush (as how to get a WebPush endpoint is defined as a JS API in browsers, would would need to be adapted).

        Sounds like you need a browser tho. UnifiedPush & MQTT work without a browser with WebPush support.
