💡 Idea
As covered here in the documentation: when using an Android device on which the ntfy client is already installed, clicking on a well-formed "ntfy:// link" in the form ntfy://<host>/<topic>?display=<name> will open the client and subscribe the user to the specified topic and assign a display name for that topic. This feature assists would-be subscribers in circumstances where the actual topic name may present a challenge to enter accurately and/or the true name gives no hint about the topic's contents -- when the topic name is a UUID, for example.

I'm writing to ask that you consider adding another link type that, when clicked, would open the client app to unsubscribe to the specified topic -- possibly taking the form ntfy://<host>/<topic>?unsubscribe=true.

I realize that users can easily unsubscribe to any topic manually within the app; but when the initial subscription was automated via a "ntfy:// link`, it'd be nice to be able to provide a link to likewise automate the un-subscribe process.

💻 Target components
Android client (initially, since it's the only platform that presently supports using "ntfy:// links" to subscribe to a topic.)
