I mean, Parler is a CRUD app. You are posting a comment on another CRUD app that doesn't even have an official mobile app client!

How do you do notifications from a CRUD app on a mobile device if you can't have a native app on the device?

Let's not kid ourselves. People rarely use the browser for something they really like on mobile if there is a native app. The experience is very different.

Facebook and Twitter are older than push notifications. SMS and email are pretty obvious replacements with little functional difference.

Sure, but you are pretty clearly moving the goalposts. Is it any more difficult to enter "news.ycombinator.com" into a mobile web browser than it is to download a mobile client?

You can use SMS or email.

There is also ongoing work to add Push API [0] support on the web as well. No Safari support though.

Can't service workers/PWAs handle this? While the UI may be subpar, they still have total access to it.

On Android yes, on iOS it's not supported yet.
