Current Challenge: Push Notification Implementation
With the mobile app version now fully operational through Capacitor and Android Studio, the primary challenge lies in implementing a reliable and scalable push notification system to replicate and extend the existing toast-based web notification model.
Existing Web Notification Flow
Notifications are triggered via toast messages, displayed in-app for real-time user feedback
All notification events (e.g., job assignment, completion) are stored in Supabase for traceability |
