Thanks for the perspective, checking for notifications could be even more of a distraction in some cases!

I have a few users on https://movinggauteng.co.za using web notifications for transit updates. I'm intentionally not sending many for now, because I'm still working on a way for commuters to choose when to get updates.

This seems like a great use of notifications unlike so many apps where they exist mainly to promote compulsively habitual usage.
