    Apple is pretty notorious for holding the web back post Steve Jobs. As an example, it took them forever for push notifications for web apps on mobile (like literally years behind their competition)

      I’m not disagreeing in general but I’ve literally never wanted to use push notifications from a Web app. All it does is create another thing to decline on shirty websites.

        I made a chat app for my Minecraft server back in 2016 that was just a website with push notifications. Worked great for the folks that had an Android device to talk to people on the server, for people with iOS it was useless.

        I don’t run that chat app anymore, but… There are use cases for these things that aren’t just “would you like to revive notifications about my blog posts/spam?”

          That sounds like a really cool use case! It’s a shame it’s mostly just basically abused for spam
