## What it is
Uniqush-push is a self-hosted Go server that provides a unified HTTP API for sending push notifications to mobile apps across FCM (Android), APNs (iOS), ADM (Kindle), and UnifiedPush/Web Push backends. It handles provider-specific APIs, retries on recoverable errors, and multicast grouping, using Redis as its only dependency.

## Use cases
- send push notifications to android and ios apps from my own server
- self-hosted alternative to firebase cloud messaging
- unified api for apns and fcm push notifications
- push notifications without google services on degoogled android
- send notifications to kindle fire devices via adm
- multicast push notifications to user groups
- unifiedpush server for linux desktop and browser notifications

## When to choose
- you want a single self-hosted server abstracting multiple push providers behind one HTTP API
- you need to support degoogled Android via UnifiedPush/Web Push
- you want retry-on-failure and wildcard/native multicast without implementing it yourself
- you prefer a lightweight Go binary with Redis as the only dependency

## When to avoid
- you need a battle-tested, actively verified service — APNs and FCM backends were recently repaired but not yet verified against real Apple/Google credentials
- you want a managed/hosted push service with vendor support
- you need rich notification features like scheduling, analytics, or user segmentation
- you cannot run Redis alongside the service
