Deliver Push-Notifications via XMPP #4

With node-xmpp, we can easily notify people over XMPP. What do you think?

Unfortunately, push notifications for iOS devices while the application is in background/the device is locked can only be delivered through Apple's Push Notification Server. There are APNS packages available for Node (haven't tested them, though). If we were to use XMPP people would either have to have a XMPP client with push notification support installed on their iOS device but I don't know if there are any.

Sorry, I meant in addition. So you can get notifications trough your XMPP client if you like. But that should be in addition.

A 100% yes. Also we could think about irc messaging
