Advanced Progressive Web Apps: Push notifications under control | Christian Liebel

For sure, Progressive Web Apps (PWA) are one of the hottest topics on the web today. A PWA should feel like a real app, including the ability to show push notifications. In this talk, Thinktecture’s Christian Liebel (@christianliebel) will show you how to implement push messaging in your PWA or website using the Push API, including a look at helpful libraries and third-party services. As a part of Google’s Project Fugu, push notifications will get even better thanks to the advent of the Badging API and Notification Triggers.

Hello, Will you use PWA for a brand new big app today expecting push to be supported in IOS over the next 12 months? Thanks.

Hey Martin, unfortunately, nobody except Apple can tell if they will ever support Push API. Typically, Apple doesn’t comment on any future product plans. If push notifications are crucial for your app, you can still implement an SPA-style web application, but you would have to wrap it using Cordova and publish it to the App Store.

You are focusing on the wrong thing. If you build a good app, you don't need to spam the user with push notifications to keep them engaged. Of course, for an app to be any good, you actually need to build a native app instead of a PWA first, so the whole talk is about a complete non-issue.
