@julian when does 3.10 come out?

@phenomlab Right now

@julian Hmm - still not working for me...

EDIT - works on my Android phone, but not on my PC - guessing it's likely security software.
EDIT 2 - suspicion confirmed. It's caused by NordVPN. If running, the push notification doesn't work - if disabled, it works fine.

> NordVPN

Thanks for closing the loop! Kind of annoying that NordVPN blocks them...

@julian Yes, very, and their support isn't up to much either in the sense of wanting to fix it. I've had to change my VPN usage from machine level (which I prefer) to browser level - as long as the internet traffic is secured, that's good enough for the time being.

@phenomlab curious, was it also blocking push notifications from this site as well?

v0.7.0 of the Push Notification plugin has been released

• Notification related service worker code that was initially included in v4 core is now served by the web-push plugin directly, allowing v3.x compatibility.
• Compatibility updated from v4 to v3.10.x
  • Meaning if you want to try this out on your existing NodeBB, you can do so by either waiting for v3.10.0, or by updating to the latest commit on the develop branch

Hi,

I'm on 3.10.0 but still see the ntfy notification plugin. Are native push notifications available if updating to current version?

Our relationship with push notifications has been rather circuitous...

1. First Andrew (@psychobunny) tried plain desktop notifications via the Notification API (that's the desktop notifications plugin), but notification delivery stopped when you closed your browser.
2. Then I wrote the PushBullet plugin, but they went from free to paid and that went out the window
3. Around that time I wrote the Firebase plugin, which was a dead end because there was no iOS support.
4. I then wrote the ntfy plugin, which works really well, but does rely on a freemium third-party service and app (written by @binwiederhier@discuss.ntfy.sh)

Thanks to some recent discussion from @crazycells and @bh4-tech, I learned that the Push API had reached general availability across most modern browsers. In fact, this actually happened over a year ago, so compatibility should be even better.

So I set about working on yet another push notifications plugin, hopefully for the last time, and this time using the native Push API on the client-side.

To enable them, simply navigate over to the "Push Notifications" menu item in your user profile, and flip the switch.

So, let's dogfood! I de-activated the ntfy plugin on this site and activated the web-push plugin so you can try it out right now.

The plugin is in the proof-of-concept phase, so there might (read: most definitely will be) issues. Please let me know any you find here.

To use the native notifications i have to disable ntfy first?

Edit: After disabling there are no notifications settings under user settings. So I guess I have to update the software

This requires me to toggle this on by going to my user's profile. is there a way this can be made default 'on' for all users on platform?
