Hello folks,
Request for testing: The next ntfy server release will contain a progressive web app (PWA) with Web Push support, which means you'll be able to install the ntfy web app on your desktop or phone similar to a native app (even on iOS! π₯³), and get basic push notification support (without any battery drain).
Installing the PWA gives ntfy web its own launcher (e.g. shortcut on Windows, app on macOS, launcher shortcut on Linux, home screen icon on iOS, and launcher icon on Android), a standalone window, push notifications, and an app badge with the unread notification count.
Testing instructions: The (hopefully) production ready version of the PWA is currently deployed on https://staging.ntfy.sh/app -- Install instructions with screenshots can be found in the docs (https://docs.ntfy.sh/subscribe/pwa/).
Please report bugs or issues on Discord, Matrix, or Lemmy (!ntfy@discuss.ntfy.sh). PLEASE HELP TEST
Huuuuge thanks goes to @nimbleghost for developing this entire feature top to bottom. If you throw donations (GitHub Sponsors or Liberapay) my way, I'll share them with him. He certainly deserves it for all this great work. π
-- If you don't know what ntfy is: ntfy (pronounce: notify) is a simple HTTP-based pub-sub notification service. You can use it to send push notifications to your phone via HTTP PUT/POST. You can selfhost it or use the hosted version on ntfy.sh
