Yes, and what I replied earlier in this thread: I'm not the only one having this issue with overpriced Pusher, I just dont want to be limited by Pusher on how many messages I wanna distribute to my end users.

> Anyway, what exactly is the use of this compared to just using uWS straight away? It’s build on uWS, so this is basically just a pusher implementation and some notification features with cool branding?

uWS is cool to be used in any WebSocket client. However, Pusher has a strict protocol, so I wanted a product that works with any Pusher SDK - so I won't have to rely on custom clients or something of that ilk.
