GitHub Discussions can also be a great place for support as long as these are regularly monitored. Another option along the same lines is Discourse and the Open Source Matrix which is used by quite a few Open Source and community-based projects.

Tangential: the article notes that Telegram is an “encrypted messaging app”. While this is technically true, it's worth keeping in mind that it's not end-to-end encrypted, so it's less secure in that regard than, say, Signal or even WhatsApp. Telegram does have opt-in end-to-end encrypted one-on-one chats, but those are very inconvenient to use.

For a properly encrypted chat app, including group chats (opt-in), try Matrix instead: https://matrix.org/

I'd love something like the Matrix [0] data model (JSON messages aggregated in an eventually-consistent chatroom CRDT) transmitted over something like simplex for metadata resistance.

Trillian mod here. There's this new thing called Beeper, works on matrix.org. It's not as the good old times, but I'm currently using whatsapp, FB messenger, discord, telegram, signal, imessage and a few more. It's not Cerulean experience, but it's... slowly improving.

I'm trying to change my account provider from "matrix.org" to whatever Element One needs, and for the life of me I just don't understand what values I have to put where to be able to log in. I tried `element.io`, which takes me to sso.element.io but this doesn't seem like the right thing (no credentials work as I expect.

Nice work, Philipp! I wrote something similar at: https://notica.us

I didn't write an app, however. I rely on the browser notification API which doesn't have the best support on mobile unfortunately. It works great on desktop.

My inspiration was the same though. I do most of my work over ssh, and wanted a local desktop notification when a slow command was finished running.

I'm trying to setup a notification system for my server application, right now Ive been testing out an idea of using ehlo (https://github.com/ehlo-io/ehlo) which is an SMTP to Rest API tool since most of the applications I use support email usage this works pretty well. I then use Notica (https://github.com/tannercollin/Notica) to send the notifications using browser notifications.

I wrote Notica (https://notica.us) to do something similar. It uses web browser notifications so it works on the servers you are SSH'd into and also to your phone.
