wp-safari-push
A Safari Push Plugin for Wordpress
What does this plugin do?
This plugin lets you prompt users to allow Safari Push notifications from your Wordpress site, and then send out Safari Push notifications to every user each time you publish a new post from Wordpress.
Additionally, it lets you use a shortcode [safari-push] anywhere you like that will provide feedback to visitors on their notification status.
This plugin is intentionally kept simple, feel free to fork the source and modify it to suit your needs.
What are Safari Push Notifications?
Push notifications are a feature in Safari 7 and Mac OS 10.9 “Mavericks” that allow websites to send users notifications to their desktop, even when Safari is closed. For much more information on this, see https://developer.apple.com/notifications/safari-push-notifications/
What else do I need in order to use this plugin?
You'll also need a working https server for communicating with Safari and Apple Push Notification Server (referred to as the "Web Service") . For a PHP implementation of the Web Service, refer to our reference project at https://github.com/surrealroad/Safari-Push-Notifications.
Can I see it in action?
Sure, go to http://www.controlcommandescape.com/push/ (you'll probably want to open that URL in Safari 7)
TODO:
- Comply with WordPress security guidelines
- Better option for test notification
