I'd enjoy any feedback folks have on this.

I identified a set of issues that have been mildly-to-majorly bothering me while using Cohost, and have written up a design for a feature to ameliorate them:

  • Notifications are hard to catch up on if I spend a while away from the site
  • Making a few posts and coming back to "99+" is imposing
  • It's hard to pick out notifications from my friends
  • It's hard to pick out notifications that are more important to me (a comment vs. a like)
  • Making a popular post makes notifications unusable for as long as it's popular
  • The mix of chronological/pagination based notification sorting and coalescing makes it difficult to comprehend the totality of interactions for a given period of time; the current notification presentation is granular, but confusingly so

The idea presented is an overview of all notifications for a given timeframe ("since you last checked" being the sensible default), in a single-page view, arranged and shown to the user in a way that makes sense and is easy to understand. No pagination or infinite scroll is required.

I wrote up this design based partially on @bucketfish's now-obsolete cohost-better-notifications Chrome extension. I've detailed what I feel would be the critical functionality of such a view, in both operation and presentation. I think something like this would allow me to spend less time and mental effort sifting through my notifications, while allowing easier interaction with other folks on here.
