> Serious question though: has anyone here ever used the notifications for anything other than web based IM (slack, whatsapp)?

I'm building a tool that uses browser notifications to ping when something new is created. It only asks for permission, when a user clicks the button which is clearly labeled to "setup browser notifications". It also sends only 1! notification until the browser tab is opened again, to not spam.
