Regarding notifications without push, if you have a document open, the `new Notification(...)` API still works: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/notification …

Thank you! So if I understand this correctly one could poll for messages in the worker thread and notify the user without the need for a push provider? If so that is really fantastic and addresses my concerns.

To further my concerns a big factor for me with web notifs is the developer experience. Seems less than ideal that developers have to register projects with all the browser their users might be using. Its also an additional disadvantage to new browsers that lack marketshare.

I'm genuinely interested in whether PWAs could enable dApps on mobile vs app store. Maybe it doesn't matter?
