yes, everything about this. for websites that still use forums (yes they are out there!) push notifications for quoted replies and direct messages would be extremely helpful. i believe push notifications are one of the largest reasons why forums died out in days of early smartphones - not having that instant feedback of interaction caused their own interactions to diminish as well.
the need for dedicated apps on your smart phone is now almost unnecessary at this point, unless you're doing something extremely niche. what a win.
- noirscape 4y agoNo, forums died because of a two-fold hit - Tapatalk bought out exclusivity rights for mobile access on most of the bigger forums, then did jack with it and made their phone app unusable. The other death knell was Facebook getting on the phone train early, which meant that people moved to FB en-masse (which was already happening but got accelerated due to this.)
