Ah yes. "Your opinion".
There's no such thing as "PWAs". There's a dozen or more standards, most of which are supported by Safari. Of course, everyone hails their own subjective subset of those standards as "the one true PWA support".
If Safari ever supports push notifications, there will be some other standard that Safari must support to "properly support PWAs".
- jtbayly 5y agoMy point is that notifications are a basic part of apps in general. We aren’t talking about some esoteric api that will let you do 3d gaming and isn’t useful for anything else. There are huge numbers of categories of apps that are impossible without notifications. * todos * reminders * calendars * chat * phone And the list goes on. There are many others where the app might be possible, but for many people in many cases those apps are useless without notifications. Stocks, forum apps, etc. I’ll tell you what, I’ll offer you a smart phone that doesn’t ever allow you to get notifications for any reason. Then when you object, I’ll just tell you that there’s no such thing as a standard feature set for smart phones.
