Apple just released iOS 16.4 which adds support for native push notifications in home screen web apps.

Alerty.dev provides an API and pre-built integrations like Zapier so you can send yourself push notifications using little to no code.

No need to install an app, just add alerty to home screen as a PWA and you can start sending notifications as if it were a native app.

Seems like you need to upgrade safari 16.4 on iOS, but other than that it’s basically getting near native push notifications via a friggin PWA! Pretty cool!

Apple as usual was late to the game supporting Web [Push APIs](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Push_API), but I'm glad the day is finally here.

It's been supported on most other browsers and devices for a while now.

Sweet. I always thought this would be a good idea. Was on my bucket list to build. Although as a native app but this is even better. Making yourself API callable.
