I picture this very simple:

curl ntfy.sh/mytopic/json?id=device1

And then:

curl -d "Hi" "Targets: device1,device2" ntfy.sh/mytopic

I second this. Or I was thinking of being able to create a group of multiple topics.

So, I was actually thinking of deleting this. Because if you need to target another device, just make another topic. They are cheap, right?

I guess you have good point, For me I have 15 servers and would love each one to have their own topic and I feel it's cumbersome to have to subscribe to 15 topics in the app. If there's a way to import/export topics I guess that wouldn't be to bad.

Does having more topics in the Android app user any more/less battery?

I think it's super easy to add device targeting, so I may as well add it. All topics share one connection, so there is no battery difference.

I thought more about this, and I think the "target devices" feature is something that pushbullet and others may have drilled into people, but in ntfy a topic is the target. Adding target device filters would make things complicated and weird, though not hard to do. I think I'll close this for now; but I'm happy to re-open if people desperately want this.

As for an import/export feature, there's a ticket here: #115
