Web browsers can do push notifications too, albeit they have to ask for consent first.

  Not on iOS they can’t - iOS _requires_ developers to go through all the hassle, fees, and taxes of creating an App-Store App if they want to use what every other platform considers a “standard web browser feature"

    Meanwhile, in a previous thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33315308 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=33315308 I think website notifications in Safari will be fine for techies and others who use HN. But it will make many "normal" people's phones look like notification hell.
