One of the best instructional videos, and I've watched 1000s. Easy to follow and understand! Keep up the great work!!!

Thanks a lot! I've seen many tutorials but yours is the first one that really works and I manage to understand... Thank you very much again!!

[nicholasosinski]

I tried so many guides for how to do this and yours worked... the first time! Thank you so much for the video and for the source code. Thank you!

This is great! Working like a charm! Thank you.

ok, the reason navigator is undefined is because notification works only with SSL environment - author didn't mention that at all and because he is using localhost it's even more confusing because you cannot setup https on localhost - certbot will complain as this is not a domain.

Great video. For some reason, the notification "icon" is not showing up along with the notification. I have added it as a part of the payload but have had no luck. Any idea?

[LeguizChristianA.IT-WEBAPPDE]

is that ok to use only the first part of the video where you not using a library

[oriamergi]

Thanks for the tutorial!
I'm stuck in getting the end point after creating the "enableNotif" button. The promise isn't resolved.
Up until that point we only used the backend to create public & private keys which we pasted (only the public) in "applicationServerKey" right?

Mention : If you're using the localhost you can't able to subscribe the client because the API support only https request, since localhost runs in http it will not wok

Hi Ben, after successfully testing everything locally (Mac, MAMP and domain localhost) I tried to test the push notification using an aws ec2 instance and a domain with ssl certificates, but the push notification doesn't arrive...
Printing the notification response looks ok, so it's not clear what's stopping the notification from arriving. I have tried with Chrome, Safari and Firefox. My server side stack is ubuntu 22 / apache2 / php 8.1. Do you have any idea? Thanks

Hi, the tutorial is very clear and complete! I managed to replicate the example and everything works. However I don't understand how to manage subscriptions, because to send a notification I have to insert the json of the subscription into the function. This example works with only one browser but if I have to send notifications to multiple browsers do I have to keep all subscriptions and send each one? Thank you

[pingxtratech]

This is so good. Thank you.

I'd like to ask, the notification will only work while the browser is opened yes? Is there a workaround for sending notifications while the browser is closed?

Hi Beni, assuming I host my PHP app on Digital Ocean or a Shared Server, can the push notifications still work. Thank you
