FCM push notifications, reliable scheduling, draft recovery improvements, and scheduled post management updates.

Hive Inbox & HiveSuite Development Update

Hive Inbox Backend

Server-Side Push Notification Delivery

Firebase Cloud Messaging Integration

• Added backend support for delivering push notifications to:

  • Mobile devices
  • Web browsers

• Implemented push delivery using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).

• Push notifications can now be generated directly from backend events without requiring the application to remain open.

Device Registration Management

• Server now stores registered notification devices for each Hive user.

• Device records include:

  • Platform information
  • Last active timestamp
  • Notification token metadata

• Enables more reliable notification delivery across multiple devices.

Automated Notification Processing

• Added a dedicated background worker for notification processing.

• Hive events are automatically converted into push notifications, including:

  • Replies
  • Mentions
  • Follows
  • Votes
  • Other supported notification types

• Notifications are delivered without requiring manual refreshes inside the application.

Push Notification API Endpoints

Device Management Endpoints

• Added new backend endpoints for:

  • Registering notification devices
  • Unregistering notification devices
  • Self-testing push notifications

• Client applications can now manage notification subscriptions directly through the API.

Automatic Token Cleanup

• Invalid or expired device tokens reported by Firebase are automatically removed.

• Prevents:

  • Failed delivery attempts
  • Unnecessary database growth
  • Repeated notification errors

• Improves long-term notification reliability.

Safe Backend Startup

Graceful Firebase Handling

• Backend now starts safely even when Firebase credentials are unavailable.

• If Firebase configuration is missing:

  • Push notifications remain disabled
  • All other backend functionality continues normally

• Allows easier deployment and development without mandatory push configuration.

Outcome

• Improved deployment flexibility
• Better operational reliability
• Safer environment configuration management
