I will probably need to open source Sublevel...

Mark Dain So a developer talk I was just at reminded me @sublevel could have push notifications without going down the traditional app route. W3C: developer.mozilla.... and Apple specific: developer.apple.co... -- there's a lot of cool APIs that could be used so that we may not need a native app.

🦿 Lucian Marin I will probably need to open source Sublevel so other developers can add features to it. I have no idea how I can handle notifications for each user on each of their devices.

👽 Paul Webb Don't all devices have unique IDs? Maybe finding a library involving that would give you implementation ideas.

Mark Dain I think you only need to support those two APIs. I'm not sure about the rest though, app manifest and so on - perhaps @martijnvdven may know more. I'd be happy to send pull requests if you go open source. It could be a private repo even?

Martijn An app manifest would be sweet, that's what would trigger Chrome (on Android) to ask people to "install" Sublevel to their home screen. For notifications that's not strictly a necessity though, separate permissions. I believe both Chrome and Firefox follow developer.mozilla.... so that would be the first thing to focus on. I am not very versed in the Apple thing.
