UnifiedPush support has been announced for Element X, and NeoChat

fosstodon.org UnifiedPush (@unifiedpush@fosstodon.org)

This week, next gen @element@mastodon.matrix.org client, Element-X, and @neochat@kde.social announced they are supporting #UnifiedPush. This makes 2 more @matrix@mastodon.matrix.org clients supporting it ! NeoChat the second Linux app officially supporting UnifiedPush, after @tokodon@kde.social #...

The official announcement was mentioned in Matrix's blog post:

Next release 0.4.2 should also be published on F-Droid with push support using UnifiedPush.

In other news, thanks to Joshua, NeoChat now supports push notifications based on UnifiedPush.

Interestingly, the Element X issue regarding implementing UnifiedPush, has not been updated, and there is no related merge request that I can find. NeoChat appears to have their changes buried in merge requests.

What is UnifiedPush?
- I think it's sending push notifications not using google play
  
  Technologically, there's a little more to it than only that, but, in practice, that's essentially what it does.
- Had to look it up too, looks like a way to choose your own push service:

Too bad neochat has been crashing on startup for months 😅
I've used UP for months with regular element and other apps. Works perfectly fine via ntfy. Excited to see more apps using it.
Great in combination with xmpp: https://joinjabber.org/tutorials/service/unifiedpush/
Sorry, but I'm using Lineage OS without Gapps and everything goes good, any notifications works in Element .... 🤔
