·

You don’t even have to create a mobile app for your Blogger blog just to get the benefit of the push notifications.

Since users don’t need to give their email id or other contact details and they also have the ability to unsubscribe from receiving notification easily whenever they want, the opt-ins for web push notifications are higher than emails.

    Set up onesignal push on https://viralchop.com and it works well. It would be good if there was a setting to allow users to only receive notifications from the category that they clicked the bell button from within.
