It has been done. The first beta release of UWPX is out, and it's packed full of features.
After just 1457 days (3 Years, 11 Months and 21 Days) in development, UWPX finally has a stable push server up and running!
Now, even if you close the app, you still receive push notifications 🎉.
Besides that, I reworked and fixed the unread counter for messages and added a new welcome dialog.

Please report bugs here!

⚠Important ⚠

This is no in place update!
In order to get push notifications up and running, I had to republish the app with a new name in the Microsoft Store.
You can find more information about why here and here.

From now on, the old app will not receive any further updates any more.
Get the new one here:

How can I get this App?

There are three ways how you can get access to the app.

1. Microsoft Store:

The simplest way is to just download it via the Microsoft Store.

2. Sideload:

If you don't want to use the Microsoft Store for getting access to UWPX you can also sideload a pre build app.
For this head over to releases and download the latest UWPX-Installer.exe.
Once downloaded, double click it and then click on install.

For this to work you first have to enable Sideload app in your Windows settings! Click here for more information about this.

⚠️ Windows will try to warn you that this is a malicious installation program. This is because I did not sign it with a valid developer certificate - you can ignore it. ⚠️

3. Build it by your own

Short version:
  1. Install Visual Studio 2019
  2. Clone the repository with Visual Studio 2019
  3. Build the project for your target platform (e.g. x64)
  4. Install the app on your target system:
