Way to go ! Not everything can be a web app right now, but it's getting closer every year.
- busymom0 3y agoWith his finally adding support for web push notifications, I think we are pretty much there already. What else is missing that’s needed for most apps?
- 4pkjai 3y agoI think browser push notifications are considered a bit of a failed standard. Lots of browser's don't support them e.g. iOS browsers.
- manmal 3y agoI haven’t tried iOS PWA push notifications yet, but I was under the impression that they should work similarly to the native ones. I agree that the standard is wonky, but if you develop a PWA with specific iOS polish, it might work well.
- plonk 3y agoIs there a writeup about how they work? Is there a message broker server that the browser stays connected to?
- JodieBenitez 3y agoLast time I tried, working with local files and folders was slow, not well supported and awkward. But I may lag.
- mcsniff 3y agoWebKit published a list of things they don't/won't add support for, so you can count them out on iOS. https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/ https://webkit.org/tracking-prevention/ I have an native app for both platforms which uses some of these because I can't do it with a webapp, I'd love for everything to be done in the browser.
