One of the primary issues with web-development and dealing with Apple/Safari compared to dealing with the Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome teams is that it feels difficult for developers to have voice in Safari development. Requests on bugs.webkit.org go unanswered and critical features which are essential too many developers are never placed in the pipeline. From an outsiders perspective there seems to be several major issues: The Safari team is underfunded and needs more engineers and a much higher budget There is the perception that a significant number of critical features do not get developed because Apple does not want competition with the AppStore and by not developing those features it forces developers to use the App Store instead. Developers are not given an opportunity to communicate with Apple Having worked with Safari development since 2003 when it was one of the best, most feature rich advanced browsers, it's really disappointing for Safari to be the limiting factor in every single app we develop. Apple has the financing and the engineering talent to fix this. How can we open these lines of communication and make Safari one of the best browsers for developers once again?

Notifications for native apps was released in 2009. It's now 2021 and we still have no indication when Web App Notifications are being developer let alone released. Service Workers and Notifications are already built and working in desktop safari. Given that the majority of apps require some sort of notification to be useful, is the safari team currently developing this feature and what is the planned release date?
