I was recently tasked with building a PWA to escape the play stores. A vitally important feature was notifications for the messaging system.

Hours of research trying to figure out how to deliver a notification through the PWA, even if the application was closed. Eventually I thought it wasn't going to be possible. But I remembered the HEY products were PWAs, and they had an email product. Surely that has the notification feature I'm trying to replicate? It's a paid service.

... no, I couldn't get their notifications to work, even though I enabled all of the proper settings. Crazy.

However, when I was about to give up and abandon the entire project, I had one of those moments, and got it to work.

Did you end up getting notifications working with your PWA? That's something I've worried about

Yes. So much relief. Although it was a bit more difficult than I thought it would be.

What was the trick?
