It's a lot nicer than having the same logic in 2 languages and trying to keep them in sync – whether doing it by hand or with an LLM.

One of the big rules is don't repeat yourself – much of the logic only needs to be written once (except UI)

We've been doing this for a while and it works great. Logic and network stuff goes in Rust, UI goes in Swift/Kotlin.

I've used Corning's Thunderbolt 3 fibre cable in the 25m length (~80'). It's eye-wateringly expensive, and it works perfectly.

Don't Windows Services run behind the login window (when configured to do so)?

Could you set up Docker that way?

I expect that Signal encrypts the notification data prior to sending it to Apple, then decrypts it on-device using a Notification Service Extension – this is a common pattern to avoid trusting Apple with any sensitive data.

That would mean Apple stored the cleartext on-device after decryption.

That was texts.com, not Beeper

Triaging notifications will be my main use for it - doing so on mobile before wasn’t great, and the new UI is even worse on mobile.

Tried the app for this and it seems great!
