Show HN: HackerNews web push for stories with 100+ upvotes by Roost (YC S14)

Minor complaint about the website, don't mandate clicking on the "Learn more ∨" link, let me scroll down instead

Fixed :)

I just enabled Roost for a political site I run with 750k uniques because of this clever little Show HN. Thanks, guys.

The site's users (who are in the 45-65 age bracket, and so are not exactly at the vanguard) are 33% Safari over the last 30 days. Surprisingly good.

Hey, would you mind sharing the site? I've thought about doing something like this but always assumed getting traction would be painfull

I like the shattered wall graphic at the bottom of the page. Any plans for Chrome users?

Chrome is definitely coming soon... _maybe_ have something to announce mid-August-ish to coincide with some important YC events ;)

Cool! Curious why this is safari only... does it use a special api?

"push notifications for websites" is a OS X thing, it does't actually require your browser to be open I believe.

Yeah, Safari doesn't even need to be open. I use Chrome as my main browser but subscribe to interesting things with Safari.

Very smart PR! Love it.
