       | access to Zulip's Mobile Push. Fortunately, this doesn't mean
       | they are making anything closed source!

       | Yes, the client is open source, but the user would need to submit
       | their own version of the client apps to Google/iOS, while
       | embedding their FCM API info into the app, in order to access
       | push notifications again.
