As a user, I hope Apple doesn't just enable notifications as it is. I tried Android recently for 6 months and permission popups on each site were really annoying!
Given Apple, it'll probably be limited to PWAs on the home screen, aka. only if the user goes to the share sheet and hits "add to home screen", where then it'll pop up the permission for sending notifications.
That would be awesome! But given Apple, they wouldn't want people to circumvent their App Store. Push is probably the biggest reason people still make apps.
They know they're losing the App Store dominance, so they're going with the flow.
which actually makes sense, as there is a fundamental difference between "installed as an app" vs some random website spamming users.
As someone who "hate" notification on web site. This is something I have been crying for 5 years on HN. Voices finally heard. Nice.
