If I go a few days without going into a given social media app to see the notifications in the app, so be it. For that matter, I'm relatively selective about the apps I even install in the first place.

#42Apps shouldn't be allowed to send notifications for Ads! I give any app on my phone one chance to be annoying and then turn them off.
This feels like something where we should be able to use an on device classifier or even LLM to bucket notifications, similar to a spam inbox.
Even better if they can pull any potential coupons out for use later without flavor text from the notification itself.

#50I would donate/pay for this if it was open source on F-Droid.
Kudos to you for building it. I put off building this exact same application so many times it's not even funny. Too bad I'm too lazy to maintain something like this.
