For me it might be notifications. But I believe Apple at least recently got the api working to allow for notifications via web apps.
Implementing that, however, may be another story. But it'd be neat.
Web apps can notify.
However I'm not sure - that might require a backend server to SEND notifications to your device.
Yes once things calm down a bit I’d love to request Lemmy to support web push.
Elk, a web client for Mastodon, can send push notifications because mastodon supports Web Push 😁
Unified push may be worth looking in to: https://github.com/uniqush/uniqush-push
Yeah, I believe you’re right. And spinning up something like that may be out of the scope of this project (costs and whatnot). Which is fine. But it would be some neat gold plating.
Wefwef is already a hosted application so I don't see why it wouldn't be able to handle push notifications for the installed clients on the hosted wefwef instance. Besides the code not being implemented yet of course.
