This is nice, but I wonder about the actual use cases of such a service, given the very loose permissions:<p>1. Anyone can subscribe to a channel 2. Any registered user can publish to a channel 3. Only registered users can publish to their personal channel (@username)<p>The second point in particular is problematic. I don&#x27;t want to add notifications to my app, only to have a script kiddie use is to spam my users.

This is cool. There was an old post here about one called patchbay (IIRC) then I made one called httpubsub (go, quick and dirty).<p>I&#x27;m using one called ntfy.sh now; it&#x27;s good; has all the use-case &amp; app and stuff. Self hostable FTW.

I’m not super familiar with browser notifications, but I want to use them in my next project. Does this library make it easy to add push notifications to my web app similar to airship for mobile app push notifications?

I just use a telegram bot that my scripts use to send me notifications that I receive in a few different channels, depending on topic.

The resend verification email function in model.js doesn&#x27;t check the input against database and can probably be used for nefarious purposes.

agreed that this is a cool project, am a bit (just a wee bit) bummed about the express dependency.<p>I&#x27;ve never used the Push API but look forward to it, and I appreciate this post for putting this tech back on my radar. I can envision a lot of cool self-hosted projects based on it

I haven&#x27;t tried web notifications yet, good reason to try now.

There is no docs ? How can we also listen via http server ?

I was disappointed when I found this isn&#x27;t a service that delivers Publix Subs.
