Nice to see this on Product Hunt. The podcast deserves the love @will_lucas . Now, I have to find time to listen to all of them.

@shaanvp @jmj This is true push, not websockets. That is, no tabs need to be opened to receive the notifications. Chrome has to be running in the background, but that is typical. You're not alone in asking the question. We get asked this question so often, we wrote a blog post addressing it. https://goroost.com/blog/true-web-push-web-push

Hi all. I'm one of the co-founders with Roost. We were excited to be included in the Chrome press release that just went live about this and we're happy to provide easy implementation of Chrome notifications into any of your products. Hit us up for help. We're offering the Product Hunt community 500k free notifications, if you're interested in trying Roost. Some links you might find...

Hmm. Tatsu's founder, @jwright, was in the previous thread. Maybe he can help.

Tatsu is a plugin that allows teams to perform asynchronous standups in Slack. @kwdinc hunted this a few weeks back, but it was in beta at the time so it was pulled from the public listing. It's live now....

Find the best hunts without having to wait for the daily email. You have to opt-in using Safari Mavericks (other browser support is imminent), but you DONT need to keep Safari open to receive the notifications. If you use another browser by default,...

Frank, FF and Chrome should be ready at some point this year. IE will take longer. We want to push toward a complete web push solution, including Safari and Chrome mobile browsers. Our early adopters are using Safari's (desktop) small market share to seed their subscriber base and establish some basic best practices for their brand. For example, how to work web push into their content...

@timjahn The @roost_me team is working up case studies as I write. I'll send one your way when complete.

@EnriqueDubois Thanks man.

Ryan, thanks for the compliments on the design. Roost enables browser push for websites. In terms of UX conventions, it works similar to mobile app push. A visitor lands your site and is presented with a browser dialogue that asks whether they want to receive push notifications from your site. They can either Allow or Don't Allow. If they allow, the site can use push notifications to...
