Why not just use UnifiedPush, which is already an open standard? Or, like other libre apps are doing, provide an option for external open providers, such as ntfy, Nextcloud Push etc.?

I agree with the writer, SSEs have a lot of untapped potential and they're way less resource-hungry than Websockets. But if every app implements its own SSE manager, it'll still be a lot of overhead on the system as a whole. Better rely on a 3rd+party open app like ntfy that takes care of forwarding/dispatching all the notifications, and other apps don't need to create a separate listener.
