ntfy Web Push / PWA support is coming soon

github.com Add PWA manifest, service worker, and web push by nimbleghost · Pull Request #751 · binwiederhier/ntfy

Resolves #346 Resolves #199 Adds a PWA manifest, service worker, the required go server routes, and VAPID-based web push I can't test Android, but this is what it looks like on macOS and iOS:

ntfy iOS support is about to get much better. While I haven't worked on the native app in a while, the progressive web app (PWA) is going to make the web app enough to receive notifications on iOS (and others).

Almost all of the credit goes to @nimbleghost for the implementation.

This sounds awesome!
The background notifications will be nice! I'm using ntfy for (among other things) notifications for a housemate that isn't as tech-savvy, so it'll be nice to get them smart home notifications that they don't have to keep a tab open for (if I understand this correctly).
@binwiederhier Yay!
This is exciting
Awesome! I’m super excited, I was close to migrating off of ntfy with the iOS/SelfHost notification issues
- What notification issues? I know iOS is not perfect, but it does work pretty reliably once set up.
  
  Probably 70% of the time I get “New notification” as the notification title, rather than the actual notification. And refreshing the topic doesn’t show me the updates. I’m not sure why it acts so weird, but the web app works perfectly for me.
