This part is a bit chicken-and-egg. If you have to build a mobile app regardless, because iOS doesn't support web push, why invest in web push too?
Once this rolls out I anticipate we'll see legitimate use cases in greater numbers, as some new projects realize they don't need to be apps anymore.
- xbar 4y agoI am missing something. Which thing is the egg and which thing is the chicken?
- spiffytech 4y agoI'm thinking, nobody wants web push in iOS because they've never seen a good use case, but no one will deploy a good use case until iOS has web push.
- babypuncher 4y agoIt's not so much a chicken-and-egg situation (plenty of sites and browsers already support this), the problem is the sheer number of bad eggs. When the feature rolled out in Firefox, I noticed almost every site I visited wanted to send me push notifications. Rather than reject them one by one, I disabled the feature entirely within Firefox.
