  • Does not work, no documentation pages available

    This plugin does not work, even the paid version shows pending on all campaigns.

  • Finally, a much-needed self-hosted push notification plugin!

    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.
