Firebase Messaging -- Polycasts #59

Read the Firebase Cloud Messaging documentation: https://goo.gl/h3wBld One of the coolest features to land in Chrome recently is the ability to send a user a push notification. These notifications may trigger in response to a user action or could just be used as a mechanism to notify the user when you launch some new content. Traditionally setting up push notifications has required a fair bit of JavaScript and Service Worker know-how. Thanks to polymerfire's firebase-messaging element we can greatly simplify the process. Check out today's episode as we cover the basics of setting up firebase-messaging and dispatching our first notification using CURL.
