I looked at mqtt and various Go libraries. It looks like a neat technology and specs. Long story short: I think I'm gonna pass and not implement it for ntfy.

Reasons: It seems quite large for ntfy and for its use case. Lots to configure, lots to confuse people.

I could see implementing a MQTT client on the server side that we'd also publish to, kinda like firebase is implemented, basically just forward message to another pubsub system. But I'll only implement that of somebody really needs it.

Libraries:

Just a client: https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt.golang
As far as I can see not embeddable: https://github.com/fhmq/hmq
broker lib: https://github.com/DrmagicE/gmqtt

This would be awesome as lots of home automation projects use MQTT as their messaging bus! A typical use case would be openHAB just publishing its notifications to an MQTT topic as usual, and ntfy subscribing to that (user configurable) topic to ... well, notify. ;-)
Maybe even allow subscribing to multiple separate topics, to categorize where the notifications are coming from. My Frigate server would be a second candidate for a topic.
