Hexo Web Push Notification

Overview

The Hexo Web Push Notification plugin is a powerful tool for bloggers and website owners using the Hexo framework. This plugin automates the process of notifying readers whenever a new post is published, allowing subscribers to stay updated effortlessly via browser notifications. With each deployment, readers who opt-in will receive notifications featuring the title and an excerpt of the latest content, complete with a direct link for easy access.

Integrating this feature is straightforward and requires minimal setup. By leveraging a free web push notification service (webPushr), users can seamlessly engage their audience without the complications typically associated with notification systems. The plugin not only enhances user engagement but also ensures that no reader misses out on important updates.
