When the hell is Apple going to finally allow push notifications for the web?
If not, then I applaud you. If you do, but keep notifications off, that's kinda respectable too.
But I'm guessing you do get a notification when you get a new text message, chat message or email.
Why should only native apps, that go through a dictatorship approval process from Apple, be allowed to send you notifications.
Of course, you should always be able to say "No" to a site or app sending you notifications. This is the case on Android, as could be the case on Apple.
Progress Web Apps are opening up the potential for developers to spend less time on the *worst* development platforms (xcode and android studio), and more time on their product.
That being said, it would be cool if an app could not "force" notifications to be allowed. Like, you could choose "Allow", "Deny" or "Hide" which would trick the app into thinking you had allowed notifications, but then just not show them.
It would stop bad advert behaviour. Although, on Android, I have never seen this be abused (yet).
I hard disable the permission to ask me for push notification permissions on every browser I can, because under no circumstances do I want a website to send me a push notification. Ever.
People just leave you out of group chats if you don't have an iPhone now because building a decent chat application for iOS is too fucking hard.
