      Think of it more like a push notification server than a messaging platform. You would need a service that sends push notifications to Gotify topics. I get the sense that under the covers it works a lot like MQTT where you have apps publishing messages to topics, and you have consumers (in my case, iGotify app on iOS) that pull those messages off the topic and present them to the user as push notifications.

      Though… I think I need a better iOS client than iGotify. It’s not actually giving me any push notifications so it’s missing the whole point for me.
