Thanks for this!

Got a lot of pushback on this one. I guess I didn’t think through how annoying that could be. It’s already happening on the web with websites asking if I want to enable notifications in Chrome. I immediately say no for regular websites that I visit. So I see where people are going.

For real apps that people use every day (for instance, the product I’m building, www.brewlog.com), that happen to be built on the web because they are bootstrapped and focusing on rolling out features to actually help the bottom line of their clients instead of developing a web app, an android app, and an iOS app all separately — it would actually really, really help. Them, and me.

So I don’t know where the happy medium would be with that. We need some way to allow it when it’s truly useful for people. Maybe that’s part of Apple’s argument? Who knows. They don’t talk about it!
