Hi gang,

I'm very excited to say that I managed to build my very first APNs server using Vapor (which has a built-in APNs framework BTW) and now I am wondering how best to use it.

Again, using Vapor I'll create a RESTful API with authentication with which I can create and delete apps and using and design some sort of filtering system where I can message specific users based on some sort of client-side logic.

I think it's best to also create a client-side package which I can import into any project that I want.

I'll also have to create a Mac and possibly iOS app for the frontend to interact with the server securely.

Also, I need to consider background notifications which I can use to send JSON payloads which I could use to implement some cool logic inside any particular app.

This is all very new territory for me so I'm excited but also not sure how best to proceed.

Does anyone here have experience with this sort of thing?

Are there some design approaches that I should follow? Best practices?

Any help and advice would be appreciated.

Thanks :)
