Receive notifications for play whe results, without the need to download an app.
Play whe results notifications demonstrates what a progressive web app (PWA) is, what it can do, and its potential to develop apps on devices.
PWA (in its most basic definition) is a combination of several technologies and a methodology of design, which works through a web browser on a device. Push notifications is a technology of progressive web apps.
A Push notification is almost identical to a notification you would receive on your device, through your favourite apps. Currently Push notifications only work on these browsers: Google Chrome, Firefox, IE Edge 17 and Samsung Internet.
While Safari is not currently supported, this may change in the near future. However, if you have Google Chrome 63 then you are in luck, because you will receive notifications through the Mac OS notification system.
