#12This is nice, but I wonder about the actual use cases of such a service, given the very loose permissions: 1. Anyone can subscribe to a channel 2. Any registered user can publish to a channel 3. Only registered users can publish to their personal channel (@username) The second point in particular is problematic. I don't want to add notifications to my app, only to have a script kiddie use is to spam my users.
The second point is solved with the 3rd point I think. In your case you need to create a user channel
From the FAQ:
> Ahey.io has two types of channels:
> Regular channels: Any authenticated user can publish to these channels.
> User channels: These channels are in the format @username, and only the user who created the user account can publish to it.

I’ll fund a startup that uses web push to tell me when chicken tender subs are on sale, though.

#17The resend verification email function in model.js doesn't check the input against database and can probably be used for nefarious purposes.
