Web Push is exciting. But it requires service workers and a bunch of custom code that can be different from project to project.

How about instead we standardize on using JSON & leave JavaScript out of it!

Meet Declarative Web Push. Available in iOS and iPadOS 18.4 beta.

🚀 #Angular 19.2 is here, bringing the long-awaited httpResource! 🎉

httpResource is NOT a replacement for HttpClient

It’s designed for reactive fetching (Signal-driven) and runs on top of HttpClient.

For mutations, HttpClient is your friend.
