Function idea: subscriptions through push notifications

[kbrandwijk]

I just want to put this out here in case anyone else is also considering the same approach. The idea is that you would set up a SSS, and send the data as a Push notification.

So it would basically behave as a client side subscription, but instead of getting the results over an active wss connection, you would get the results as push notification, for when your app is not running.

Based on: https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/getting-started/codelabs/push-notifications/ (client-side) and https://github.com/web-push-libs/web-push (SSS-side) for browser, and similar platforms for mobile push notifications (for example: AWS SNS).

Just to clarify for anyone else who's wondering (as it can be confusing with the terms that are almost similar: web, push & notifications), this is different from a web sockets approach like here: https://github.com/graphcool/graphcool/tree/master/examples/push-notifications
