I'd build my own NTFY client to enable two-way chat. It's not something I'm seriously considering, because it's obviously a bad idea, but that's about where I am.

Ah, ok, well, if that's a valid use-case for you, then i'd suggest you consider maybe a more conventional chat service - whether its matrix, xmpp, etc. - because i'll be honest, and with all due respect, if you're trying to get ntfy to be a 2 way chat, is that not sort of like trying to use a shoe as a hammer? I mean, it will work, but will it do so effectively enough for your needs?
