Caching google fonts css in SW that has references to fonts? Writing manifest by hand? I guess its good enough if you are aiming at green checkmark in lighthouse.

Looks like a typical article written because thats what is trending in the tech world and will increase chance of "building audience" or "building the following".

I have PWA installed with good score on Lighthouse. But when I check it here -> pwabuilder.com/

I got a warning on this part ->
X Service Worker has a pushManager registration

Can you give me the code to fix this issue?

Yes, it's free. Just enter your domain and follow step by step to install it on your website.
