    It’s true that FCM will result in more reliability and a better UX than other ways to implement notifications. Doing something else is still the right choice for certain use cases, such as those where privacy or keeping the entire codebase open source are top priorities.

      Ya, for sure. My beef was just with people saying you can roll your own, but glossing over the reduced user experience and reliability if you do.

      With those trade offs it’s absolutely doable and makes sense for certain situations.
