I'm curious what, if any, types of websites you actually want and allow browser notifications from. I feel like there's a good use case for them, but it's certainly not being notified of news articles or new recipes.

Maybe something like GitHub actions triggered by my commits? Not sure if it’s possible.

Personal Github for me. Mainly because their simple notification count # is more quiet than their other notification channels. One of the only quiet browser notifies though…

Wordle, when there’s a new word.

I'm building a recipe app, I have an idea to have notifications to prompt you if you need to prepare certain ingredients - like soaking beans/chickpeas the day before they're needed, etc.

Web applications: Telegram Web notifications, OSD for Deezer, new articles in FreshRSS. Proper (as in "mainly textual content") sites: none.

The only one I've enabled so far is Mastodon. And I regret that, honestly. It's not unreasonable but it's unnecessary. In general life is better without all the distractions of app notifications.

I think I did it once and it started to annoy me after some days ^^ I was always wondering if anybody does use it effectively. For me there are mails, calendar & pc updates the only things I want my computer to notify me. My phone does the rest.

I've never clicked 'Allow'. If they want me to know what is happening, offer me a decent RSS feed ;-)

I have never—not once—enabled notifications from any website.
