Reviews
Finally, a much-needed self-hosted push notification plugin!
By only4gamersml on December 17, 2024
Finally, a much-needed self-hosted push notification plugin! I truly hope you continue supporting this plugin and keep improving it, your work is greatly appreciated, and I wish you all the success you deserve.
However, a couple of areas need attention:
. Appearance of the push consent popup. It looks quite unappealing by default. I managed to make it look beautiful with some CSS tweaks, but having a dedicated option for finer CSS controls would be a game-changer.
. Notification rate management. It would be helpful to have options to control how many notifications can be sent per hour. This would prevent potential website crashes or performance issues.
Great Plugin
