Native Push Notifications Support for NodeBB

@phenomlab you need to be on v4.

Alternatively I believe you can update the service worker manually with the one from the ActivityPub branch.

@julian thanks. I'll check this later.

v0.7.0 of the Push Notification plugin has been released

• Notification related service worker code that was initially included in v4 core is now served by the web-push plugin directly, allowing v3.x compatibility.
• Compatibility updated from v4 to v3.10.x
  • Meaning if you want to try this out on your existing NodeBB, you can do so by either waiting for v3.10.0, or by updating to the latest commit on the develop branch

@julian when does 3.10 come out?

[julian]

@phenomlab Right now

[phenomlab]

@julian Hmm - still not working for me...

EDIT - works on my Android phone, but not on my PC - guessing it's likely security software.
EDIT 2 - suspicion confirmed. It's caused by NordVPN. If running, the push notification doesn't work - if disabled, it works fine.

NordVPN

Thanks for closing the loop! Kind of annoying that NordVPN blocks them...

[phenomlab]

@julian Yes, very, and their support isn't up to much either in the sense of wanting to fix it. I've had to change my VPN usage from machine level (which I prefer) to browser level - as long as the internet traffic is secured, that's good enough for the time being.

@phenomlab curious, was it also blocking push notifications from this site as well?

[phenomlab]

@julian yes
