Push notifications: Handle logout/login

[danieldaquino]

Acceptance criteria:

• If the user logs out of their Nostr account, they should stop receiving push notifications from that account
• If the user logs into a new Nostr account, the push notification server should start sending that user notifications of that new account

Wouldn't you still want push notifications regardless of which account your logged into? We would just need account switching functionality so that damus can switch to the appropriate account. Although we would probably need per-user notification settings to control this.

That would make sense if the user manages more than one account at the same time.

I was imagining use-cases where the user temporarily logs into their account on their friend's or family member's device, or someone who created an account but wants to switch to a new one (and "abandon" the old one).

Besides, I imagine that some of the other push notification functionality (e.g. decryption of DMs in push notifications) would only work for the user that is logged in.

However, you pointed out a useful use case. I imagine this would be better managed if we have multi-user support (similar to how Google allows someone to login to multiple accounts from the same browser), because then the user can control whether they want to be logged into 2 accounts, or if they specifically want to logout of their account.

good point. I wonder how most apps handle this, probably on logout like you mentioned...
