    Hello,

    I use your safari push notification server from github and its very nice and easy to handle.
    I also use this plugin and I wonder if there is any chance to easy enable notifications for firefox and chrome too. In their latest versions they should support push notifications.

    But with your service, I only recieve permission questions in safari, not in firefox or chrome.

    Any way how and where I could change that?

    Thank you very much an best regards

    My (very limited) understanding of Chrome/Firefox push notifications is that they are for extensions, not web sites.

    no, chrome/firefox notification using same Web Notifications API as Safari. On Mac they integrate in Notification Center too, same way they did in Safari. On Windows they are kept inside the browser.

    Here is a nice jquery plugin that simplifies integration of all three browsers. If you are interested in extending your plugin/server, have a look:

    Let me know if you need more informations about it.

    Thanks and best regards

    Again, this seems to be for something slightly different:
    About Notifications for Websites

    There are two kinds of notifications for websites:

    Safari Push Notifications, which is an Apple-exclusive technology and triggered remotely using Apple Push Notification service (APNs).
    Local Notifications, which are specified by a W3C standard and triggered locally using JavaScript.

    You are referring to the latter, which would require the user to have your WordPress site open in the browser at the time a post is published, whereas this plugin is for the former case, where the browser can be closed entirely.
