If you want to test it out, copy the above to a file main.py and start the server:
uvicorn main:app --reload
Then, open a few tabs at http://localhost:8000/ and send some chat messages (this should work the same as the base tutorial app). Then open http://localhost:8000/push/hello%20world and you should receive a push notification in each of your open tabs showing the message hello world.
