Community Wishlist Survey 2022/Notifications/Desktop Push Notifications

Random proposal ►◄ Notifications The survey has concluded. Here are the results!

Desktop Push Notifications

Problem: Currently you only receive notifications when you are logged into a browser, or depending on your preferences per Email. When you write someone a message, you often don't get an answer for a long time because the recipient doesn't notice. Newbies who have logged out often disappear entirely without realizing that someone has written them a message on their talk page. Communication falls by the wayside, and unfortunately so does the workflow. That has to be changed!
Proposed solution: The solution is pretty much the same as last year, except last year I didn't notice that many don't use Safari. A solution for Safari might look like this: developer.apple.com/notifications. But there are a lot of great other solutions for other browsers, like for developer.mozilla.org/push-api Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge. No matter what browser you use, together we can make our communication system better.
Who would benefit: Everyone. Long-time editors whose communication is improving, as are new editors who are more involved. It just makes a lot of things easier.

Would love to see this, as long as it is properly configurable.. Also we already have some of the infrastructure for it on the server side as much of it has been implemented for apps now. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 16:16, 16 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
This is (mostly) phab:T113125 and phab:T276409, also requested in Community_Wishlist_Survey_2022/Notifications/Add_more_real-time_features_to_MediaWiki. --Izno (talk) 19:19, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Would have supported if I had known voting ended at 18 UTC. Scripts like Convenient Discussions also support this already. ~~~~

Support But noting that some may find the browser permission prompt “do you want to allow push notifications for this site” to be off-putting. Pelagic (talk) 23:40, 29 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I think it should be possible to only show this prompt after the corresponding setting is changed in the preferences. ~~~~

Support ideally, this could be disabled in preferences (though I think most/all modern browsers have the option to block such notifications) paul2520 (talk) 19:49, 5 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Support only as an opt-in in perferences; as said by Pelagic above: some (me) find the browser permission prompt annoying (and I personally prejudice the website with a negative opinion) — DaxServer (t · c) 20:32, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
