Web push can pop up messages if the browser is closed and your phone's screen is off. It's well supported on most android devices. As a user I want them in sites like Slack so I never need to install the Slack app.

> so I never need to install the Slack app Same here for Twitter, Mastodon, the local news (push), weather (push and geo), public transport (push, geo and backround-service) and so on. There are apps for all of them, but especially the apps in the long tail (local news, local public transport) are bad (as in: it is clear they are budget-restrained). I don't want to fill my phone with hardly-used, crappy apps, when a link to a website will suffice perfectly. I use web-apps for anything possible.
