  1. @apa @gsuberland I can think of some disadvantages:
    1. A group may not have a member technical enough and rich enough to operate "a traditional forum"
    2. Signup confirmations too often get dropped without notification by overzealous #antispam
    3. Forum tends not to support mobile #PushNotification, especially on #iOS where notification via #PushAPI cannot cause sound or vibration
    4. Some people don't want their spur of the moment words to be indefinitely publicly indexed in web search as #receipts for harassers to use against them

  2. Reading up on #PWAs as a route to being able to offer people a daily reminder to play Chainagram via a notification on their phone. It's theoretically possible on Android and on the way soon on iOS but blimey it's immensely complicated - unless I'm reading things wrong there is no way to schedule a simple notification on-device, I'd have to go the whole hog of sending out individual push notifications with all the security issues and upkeep that implies. Am I just being stupid?

  3. Y'all help me out here, what's to be preferred:

    JQuery.ajax() or mozilla service workers and the Push API?

    asking for a friend

    #javascript #jquery #pushapi #ajax

  4. So the most annoying websites bugging with request for push notifications you've blocked from asking again are now prominently displayed as disabled among intentionally installed apps and push-allowed webapps in Chrome OS 70 settings tray... What a way to encourage bad behaviour. :(
