My answer to this is that the calendar just does not need to be a web app. Weakening a primary advantage of everything else on the web just so that my calendar can be a web app seems like a poor trade-off.
Re: sound, "Triggered as the result of a user action" is not a high enough bar.
- lcnPylGDnU4H9OF 4y ago> the calendar just does not need to be a web app And the chat app, and the email app, and the social media app (other opinions about social media notwithstanding). I think each of these things have their own legitimate use for notifications. I guess it's the point of "weakening a primary advantage". I don't see how it's weakened (or rather, I don't see how it's a problem) when the notifications are on a per site permission. Especially so when the notifications can be turned off completely per browser. > Re: sound, "Triggered as the result of a user action" is not a high enough bar. I'm with you on this. Although it took until this thread for me to realize that sound at all should be a permission.
- account42 4y agoThe world would be better off if social media apps did not have notifications.
- shadowgovt 4y agoCalendars are far more useful as web apps than other incarnations; you can open them anywhere and don't have to carry a specific artifact with you to do it.
