i've got a blog that's supposed to be for my friends, they're all normal so they have no idea what an RSS feed is, and i was thinking about how i could give updates, i'm wondering how hard would it be to send people notifications everytime i make a post? like the site asks for permission and one gets sent to their phones or whatever.

@kopper would they all need to get an app or something for that? i kinda want this to just be a button to click in the footer and it just works without any outside apps or anything

@autumn you'd prolly need to handle webpush yourself (if you want it directly integrated to your blog). idk too much about how it works though

unsure if the web frontend works as a PWA but that could be an option without installing the app

@kopper i mean it's a pretty basic just HTML CSS, i think no JS website made with Hugo. so i would need to probably figure it out from scratch, but i've got a server and stuff like that so anything that needs to be hosted I can do

@autumn the overall idea is to run a js service worker which uses the web push api (developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API) to get a push notification url

you send that over to your backend and then you can send requests to that url to push events to the service worker, which can then generate a notification
