iOS Safari Web Push Notifications Demo

Описание: Web-push notifications have arrived on Safari in #iOS, but with a catch! 🤷‍♀️

Try them out for yourself at https;//webpushtest.com

First, why is this a BIG DEAL? 👇

Send push notifications to lock-screen w/o building a native app.
Users can turn on/off notifications per site.
Built using open standards

The API for subscribing and sending notifications is standards based, but,

You need a Progressive web-app (PWA).
The user needs to click Share, then "Add to Home Screen"

More friction and extra #developer work? Yes. A more native feel? Yes!

When users add a PWA to the home screen, it effectively installs the "web-app", and offers

1. An icon that can display badges with counts
2. Notifications appear "from" the web-app, not Safari.
3. The notifications settings can be adjusted from the settings screen
