Introduction

Web push notifications have become one of the most powerful tools for increasing website traffic, engagement, and returning visitors.

Platforms like LaraPush, OneSignal, and PushEngage have transformed how websites communicate with users in real time. Inspired by these systems, we started building our own self-hosted Web Push Notification SaaS platform called PushNoryx.

Our goal is simple:

Unlimited Subscribers
Unlimited Domains
Advanced Automation
Real-Time Push Delivery
Full Ownership of Data
No Recurring Monthly Limits

This project is being developed using Laravel, WordPress, MySQL, and Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM).

Why Build a Self-Hosted Push Notification Platform?

Most SaaS push notification providers charge monthly fees based on:

Number of subscribers
Number of notifications
Domains connected
Automation features

As subscriber counts grow, costs increase significantly.

We wanted to create a scalable platform that gives users complete ownership, better flexibility, and enterprise-grade performance.

System Architecture

The platform architecture is designed for scalability and high-speed push delivery.

Core Flow

Visitor → Website → WordPress Plugin → Laravel API → MySQL Database → Firebase FCM → Browser Notification

The complete system consists of three major components:

1. WordPress Plugin

The plugin handles:

Browser permission popup
Service worker registration
Firebase token generation
Subscriber collection
Push on publish automation

2. Laravel Backend

Laravel powers:

Subscriber management
Campaign management
REST APIs
Analytics dashboard
Audience segmentation
Scheduling
Automation systems

3. Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)

Firebase is used only for notification delivery.

It helps us:

Generate browser push tokens
Deliver real-time notifications
Handle browser communication

Subscriber data itself remains securely stored inside MySQL.

Why We Chose MySQL Instead of Firebase Database

Although Firebase offers Firestore and Realtime Database, Laravel + MySQL provides:

Better scalability
Advanced querying
Easier analytics generation
Better SaaS architecture
Easier WordPress integration
Lower long-term operational cost

This architecture is widely used in enterprise-grade systems.

Features We Are Building

PushNoryx includes:

Unlimited Subscribers
Unlimited Domains
Instant Push Notifications
Push on Publish
Audience Segmentation
Campaign Scheduling
Advanced Analytics
Drip Notifications
YouTube Push Automation

Real-Time Subscriber Collection

When users visit a website:

Browser permission popup appears
User clicks “Allow”
Firebase generates a push token
Token is sent to Laravel API
Subscriber data is stored in MySQL

This allows website owners to build their own audience database over time.

With Laravel, WordPress, MySQL, and Firebase FCM, PushNoryx is being built to handle millions of subscribers while maintaining speed, ownership, security, and scalability.

This is just the beginning of PushNoryx 🚀
