As an iPhone user: good. There is no good that can come from some dipshit website product manager being able to make my phone vibrate on a website. None at all.
- afavour 29d agoIs there any good that can come from a dipshit mobile product manager being able to make your phone vibrate on an app? Is there actually a meaningful difference?
- jen20 29d agoGames are the usual reason in an app. Being able to do it as a “drive by” on a website though: absolutely hell no.
- afavour 29d agoSounds like it would be ideal to add it to Home Screen webapps only, just like web notifications. And yet…
- aetch 29d agoYes, because visiting a website is much easier to do even unintentionally. The last thing I want is my phone to vibrate as I scroll past an ad
- afavour 29d agoWhich is why things like permission prompts exist.
- dymk 29d agoParent comment is talking about PWA APIs that only show up when the PWA is added to the Home Screen, not via safari.
- davidmurdoch 29d agoAn installed PWA should be able to do all the same things an installed app should do. The general web should not, and no one is arguing for that.
