I am trying to build a desktop client where I want to show the notifications would that work with OAuth app as you suggest? The docs mention: These endpoints only support authentication using a personal access token (classic). So are you sure oauth works? https://docs.github.com/en/rest/activity/notifications?apiVersion=2022-11-28#about-github-notifications

Also I dont understand your remark about github apps. the docs states: As a developer tool, allowing users to work with GitHub by signing into your GitHub App, which can then act on their behalf that is exactly what I try to do?
