I'm a big supporter of PWAs, but I don't think push notifications add all that much value for most regular apps much less PWAs. However, I do appreciate that the apps need to request permission to send notifications as opposed to regular apps which can send them unless explicitly denied permission.
- nathancahill 5y ago> regular apps which can send them unless explicitly denied permission That's not true at all. On iOS at least.
- kerryritter 5y agoAnecdotally, every client that rejected a PWA approach has been due to insisting on push notifications. These apps are typically internal employee apps and the push notifications are important alerts that they do not want lost in the shuffle of emails.
- tinus_hn 5y agoWhy would you want to push ‘important alerts’ using an off by default, unreliable api?
- johne20 5y agoI can say we (roomlio.com) really miss not having push notifications on iOS for our chat PWA. Just presenting that as one use case where I believe push notifications would add value by notifying users of new chat messages.
- aogaili 5y agoDisagree. For many enterprises/clients this is the key (and only missing feature).
