Yes I have looked at the REST api very quickly and it is very simple and already similar to other apps I am talking with in this new binding here:
Do you mind summarizing what this does and the benefits of using this over other ways to send messages like Telegram? Pretend I know nothing about it and sell me on why anyone would want to install this server on their network? Am I correct that this will continue to work fully locally if your internet connection fails? Since your using it now with scripts, what issues have you hit trying to do it without a binding?
