Great idea, though I’m not sure how user friendly this would be for commercial customers. Because they wouldn’t like to install some other app just to get notifications, etc. I guess a way to improve that would be to white label the app. If it gets mass adoption it wouldn’t be an issue probably but that’s hard :D

I agree with you

But it really depends on the type of product.

i.e. think about customer support live chats, or similar products. your support agents need to receive mobile notifications, and they are probably more keen to install a third-party app.

If that's your target market then this would be the perfect product certainly. I was thinking more in terms of the general end consumer.

Yep, in that regard it’ll be perfect. I could label it as perfect for internal company workflow. Not the “end end” customer. The average consumer.
