iOS Safari web push notifications demo
iOS launched web push notifications a month ago with 16.5, but there has been a surprising lack of examples to try out. We built [WebPushTest.com](https://WebPushTest.com) and made the code open source so more web devs can try it out and share it with their coworkers. It used to be the case that an iPhone app needed to be “native” and downloaded from the App Store to utilize push notifications, but you will see that this is no longer true :) As long-time HN users, we also included an option to subscribe to a feed of top Hacker News posts delivered to you via push every six hours.…

The Console below taps into some of the events the MagicBell SDK emits. Our SDK automatically registers a service worker.

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Heya HN, I've been working on a reddit-like platform as my primary side project for the last few years. Doing a (very) soft launch today, mainly because I want to use it to encourage discussion of alternatives. How non.io works: 1. Free to browse, paid to interact. 2. Minimum subscription is $2 (though you can choose more). I take $1 to run the servers, everything left gets split evenly between everything you upvote that month. It's a simple model, but I hope it's a better one than the freemium model we've been relying on for the last few years. Fundamentally I feel like any ad-supported…
