web push bullshit

you do some javascript, get a URL, and open a websocket

to the server behind that URL. then tell the URL to your server

then your server is supposed to send data to that URL

so that the other server can store and forward the message..

and this is set by default to servers operated by browser

vendors. and afaik, can't be changed by the javascript.

you /can/ change what the server is in firefox using

about:config, but then all the websites that use web

push would try to push through there.

maybe it should be done in a

"this is my private webpush server for use by just the

browsers running in my LAN"

so you're able to store and forward only messages meant

for you. so it'd be like a mail server.

haven't found any software for running a private webpush

server yet.
