REflex is a user-centric pub/sub system that uses Linked Data Notifications (LDN) to enable sharing and reuse of notifications across applications, regardless of how they were generated.

Instead of treating notifications as ephemeral or non-persistent entities, this specification enables the notion of a notification as an individual entity with its own URI. As such, notifications can be retrieved and reused.

The API is very simple, the only interactions are publish a message (HTTP POST) and get messages either (HTTP GET) or pushed to your application.
