Why it matters for media & publishers
Publishers built on referral traffic are one algorithm change from disaster. Installed readers are your resilient audience — worth 5-10× more in lifetime ad revenue than a one-touch visitor.

The moment your best story publishes, notify every installed reader. Lock-screen delivery beats email by 30-60 minutes.
Direct traffic is unaffected by search-side changes to referral policy.
The same PWA becomes a hub for every audio and text product you ship.
