The post discusses the new 'Declarative Web Push' API from WebKit, which aims to improve the push notification experience in web browsers, particularly for mobile devices. However, user comments express skepticism about the necessity and the effectiveness of such technologies, highlighting that many users have disabled notifications due to spam and clutter. Concerns are raised about the potential for abuse and the lack of control users have over notification permissions. The post also notes that iOS Safari only supports push notifications from websites that are added to the Home Screen, which complicates the user experience. Furthermore, there are calls for better vetting processes for web push notifications to avoid spam, similar to the app store processes for native apps. Some users appreciate the declarative approach for its alignment with modern web development but express concerns over performance implications and flexibility compared to earlier APIs. The overall sentiment suggests that while the initiative has potential, significant challenges remain regarding user experience, notification management, and abuse prevention.
