They distribute an apk that uses a websocket for notifications. It's very hidden, which I do not understand in the slightest, but it exists.

They make it seem dangerous to use, and don't even explain why someone would need it. That needs improvement imo.

They used to have it on the normal Download page ages ago but they seem to only provide it to avoid a shitstorm tbh! :/
