Permissions on the web suck, and it’s spoiling it for everyone. I have some thoughts:https://philna.sh/blog/2018/01/08/permissions-on-the-web-suck/ …
This is the same argument that folks make about PWA prompting heuristics, and yet we're doing a good job there of continuing to improve the accept rates for everyone. I hear the frustration, but the evidence doesn't back it up.

Tactically, I *do* think most of the request* APIs are mis-designed. They should instead be events delivered on the Permissions API that enables you to know when a request might be usefully sent.

I must say, a step back and look at a generic permissions API would probably make sense since a lot of these seem to have grown organically over time and need consolidating in a sensible manner.

Oh, I meant it would erode trust because it started as a definite and it may start to fail randomly. I appreciate the way the PWA heuristics work, but that was advertised in that way from the start.

An app may only have one time it needs to ask for push permission, like the flight alerts in
@gauntface's example, and if it doesn't have permission to ask at that point, then a key feature is ruined. That's not a problem for add to homescreen. - 3 more replies
