@abhinov-singh it's not something you can do yourself. If it was, you'd already know about it.

@PitaJ Push notification is high on demand . I am really searching something so i can add that to my website

At this time, we're looking to enable push notifications via service workers -- however it is not in active development. That said, it is in the pipeline.

@PitaJ @julian
can we have nodebb-pwa plugin ?

PWA hase a grate impact on SEO of a website.

I am a PHP developer and I have good khowladeg of Nginx web server. So I can't make a plugin for NodeBB

@PitaJ

PWA are good for your client's business. Alibaba, the Chinese Amazon, notices a 48% increase in user engagement thanks to the browser's prompt to "install" the website (source).

This makes the effort totally worth fighting for !

This bounty is possible thanks to a technology called Service Workers that allows you to save static assets in the user system (html,css, javascript,json...), alongside a manifest.json that specifies how the website should behave as an installed application.

@sanatisharif yes i know what a PWA is. It's a lot of work to implement it, and it's not the highest priority for me.

@kurt3rd Are you still using the PWA on your site? How do you install this as a plugin, Im a noob so pardon the questions.
Really want to provide a PWA experience to my users.
Thanks

We implement many of the best practices for delivering a good mobile app experience, but we are not fully PWA yet. Unfortunately, we do not have a timeline for this feature, but I'd recommend opening up a new issue on GitHub for discussing this

@julian Thanks for the reply. I will open up a new issue on Git, however need to have the site ready in two weeks. In the meantime I am trying to add a service-worker.js file to the root of NodeBB. I have tried setting the location in Nginx, without any luck.
Without writing a plugin is it possible and if so what is the correct method?

julian

Try putting it in public/src/ folder.

Keep in mind you really shouldn't be putting stuff in these folders that aren't tracked by NodeBB, but I can't stop you either
