Why is setting up a bush notification system so difficult that it's easier to piggy back on telegram? I have a project I want to do that involves making your own PUSH server (for battery reasons). Would it be difficult to setup

I'd be interested in that project, can you show it?
I haven't made it. I've just started thinking about what I'd need to get it done. I'm a systems dev not an Android app person.

I want to make a thing that will forward my SMSs to a webpage so I can read them online and I want to be able to start conversation, reply to conversations, etc. I want it to be open source and free.

I'm not really interested in making it, I just want it.

IFTTT can do this for you without programming work. Requires your phone because texting requires money.
look at Pushbullet, as a browser extension.
