Not IOS user, so I couldn't check. I was just basing it on multiple discussions I had with people regarding difference between Android/IOS apps getting approved. will it gonna risk getting pull-off the store from false flags?
Bleh

And if you were able to get it approved, you will most-likely get a lot of false reports for the same reason. An Android app would be easier to publish I think, but I don't think it's needed right now.

I think things are reviewed manually at iOS at least partially. We could get flagged for manual review then approved or denied by a human being. Hopefully they would see our simple code and permissions and intent of the app. We would be super minimal perms and not invasive to privacy. Probably even skip sharing options to avoid looking at your contacts and installed apps. And I don't think we need location. Unsure what network access the app needs though. In any case, we would be bare minimum for perms and I assume we'd be approved.
Love this feature!
Works great with the mobile version of Chrome (where I will probably use this feature the most). Great work.
Anyone els have a stuck notification ?

Edit: It went away.
Apple won’t accept an app that “minimally expands the use of a website”. It says that in their review guidelines (not word for word). Same thing with them pulling a ton of React and Vue.JS HTML5 apps from the App Store. An app just for site notifications wouldn’t work.

Just use Pusher like everyone else.

I am like 99% sure if you can view threads and have a native view, it would be allowed.

Quote: Your app should include features, content, and UI that elevate it beyond a repackaged website.

HF may be the only site I ever allow notifications for. Good addition!
Great update, a lot has changed since I’ve been gone. I’m liking it 🤝
Hell yeah. Now we just need a HF IOS app
ok.Hell yeah, thank you for the update
Push notifications are a must-have for any sites and forums.
Glad it's now there!
Nice, I think this is great!

The "Hack Game" is not easily accessible on mobile (not in any menus from what I could tell), adding that in the app would suffice, no?

It's just as easily accessible as the rest of HF. What difficulty did you have?

Top Left Avatar -> Game Controller -> Hack Game

Seems simple..no?

This is going to sound silly but I didn't realise that the top avatar was clickable. My bad 😊
