How do you send native notifications using this package?

[jetlej]

The main reason I want to enable my app to be a PWA is native notifications, and this package doesn't seem to mention it anywhere :/

Is there any documentation on that?

Want to know too

@jetlej @suchorski the issue is about web push notifications?

If so, you need for example https://dev.to/wteja/how-to-make-push-notification-using-nodejs-and-service-worker-jaa (you need the push service in your backend)

You can check a sw example here (the backend is any mastodon server where the user using Elk has an account):
https://github.com/elk-zone/elk/tree/main/service-worker

And here https://docs.elk.zone/pwa some docs.

@userquin more like custom service workers

Not web push notifications. Native mobile notifications on iOS and Android.

Some link to the specs?

I guess they still are technically web push notifications, but they're for when you save a PWA to your homescreen:

@jetlej check elk.zone, you need to add psuh notification to your backend
