Background notifications? #16

Closed KibSquib48 closed 3 years ago

KibSquib48 commented 3 years ago

I've been using this PWA for a while and I love not having to worry about discord being slow or slowing down anything else. The one thing I do miss is background notifications, and I was wondering if it was possible to do it, since the Twitter PWA has background notifications too (notifications without the app/website running)

Unfortunately this isn't really feasible for me to add. All this PWA does is just open the website and pull a bit of data from it to enable notifications. Background notifications would mean recreating a large portion of the client using discord's API which, frankly, is a ton of work I'm not willing to do. Additionally, doing so would be a violation of their terms of service, qualifying as either a self-bot or unofficial client or both, which are things they will ban for. If you want more a more complete PWA I recommend you petition Discord to create an official PWA.
