Push notifications are everywhere, from news and messenger apps to fitness and health applications. They are a great tool for increasing user engagement, having a click rate that is 7 times higher than that of email marketing. But be careful not to send too many irrelevant notifications. As  this report shows, 50% of app users find push notifications annoying.

With that being said, in this tutorial, I’ll show you how to create your own web push notifications, using your own backend with NodeJS and TypeScript, and vanilla JavaScript on the frontend.

I’ll go through all the steps you need to take to set up the backend and frontend, but you can skip those parts of course if you’re interested in adding push notifications to an existing project.
