I made a chat app for my Minecraft server back in 2016 that was just a website with push notifications. Worked great for the folks that had an Android device to talk to people on the server, for people with iOS it was useless.

I don't run that chat app anymore, but... There are use cases for these things that aren't just "would you like to revive notifications about my blog posts/spam?"

That sounds like a really cool use case! It's a shame it's mostly just basically abused for spam
