Every time I see this flowchart I get reminded that Slack casually sends half of my notifications to a sleeping/disabled laptop instead of my phone.

I also get reminded that Telegram has one of the simplest notification schemes in existence. Notify last used device -> If still unread after ~30 seconds notify every logged in device. That's it, dead simple, never missed a TG notification.




Or phone ringing violently minutes after I've already picked up the call on my laptop
