Why I like pushd for cross platform push notifications

On a recent mobile (android and iOS) project I implemented push notifications with pushd. On the pushd project page, pushd is introduced as follows: Pushd is a pluggable unified push server for server-side notification to mobile native apps, web apps etc. With pushd you can send push notifications to any supported mobile platform, web app or HTTP server from a single entry point. Pushd takes care of which device is subscribed to which event and is designed to support an unlimited amount of subscribable events.
