#36424 — Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) blows the W3C/IETF Success Prevention Depts out of the water!

Broadcast Messaging and Topic Based subscription is now available to 
your WebApp just like native Apps thanks to FCM.

https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/js/send-multiple

I am absolutely ecstatic about this, as we all should be, and equally 
grateful to FCM for having managed to bypass the recalcitrance and sheer 
bloody-mindedness of spec-authors to provide functionality that everyone 
outside the ivory-towers was begging for.

I thought WhatWG was set up to challenge the delusional elite a la mode 
de HTML5? Why the silence?

Anyway rejoice and be glad as Native Apps have one less stick to beat us 
over the head with. And you Firefox fans are no longer stuck with 
Mozilla's third-rate AutoPush!

Now if we can only get background geolocation with ServiceWorkers 
nothing can stop WebApps: -

Happy Days!!!

Cheers Richard Maher

PS. The cognoscente are once more assembling on April 4-5 for a Japanese 
junket on ServiceWorkers to yet again wax bollocks on "offline first" :-(

Please lobby the names that can be found in the hall of shame here: -

For those hoping that W3C/IETF will wake up to the background 
geolocation requirement, I'm afraid the answer is "Not this year" :-(

Still, at least the sponsors are getting value for their money and 
quality F2F time in Tokyo: -

You just can't be that productive via email or a conference call!
