Great article! The integration of MetaMask Snaps with the Push Protocol is a huge step forward in enhancing the Web3 user experience. Real-time notifications directly within MetaMask not only make things more convenient but also ensure that users stay updated without needing to jump between multiple platforms.

I appreciate the detailed step-by-step guide on setting up the Push Snap.
