My use cases:
- Home Assistant
- Discord
- Telegram
- Element
- Buienalarm (weather app)
- RSS reader
- Floatplane.com
- Several sites/forums with comment sections, to notify me of replies etc.
- Gitlab pipeline notifications
- Some smaller services I'm probably forgetting
Basically, anything but the scammy sites that try to force notifications upon you. Generally interactive stuff which I feel shouldn't have a 300MB app with access to file systems (and there's not a lot that _really_ needs an app these days).
To combat the blogspam from Google searches, HN/Reddit links, and whatever else tries to shove stuff down my throat, I have notifications disabled by default so I don't even see the prompts; I manually toggle them on, and I think that should be the default. I also close any website the second I see a popup for newsletters, notifications, or even cookie popups the second they block my reading, unless I can't find the information I need anywhere else.
