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.

godfeels 3 part 2 begins

Last year was a banner year for Image comics and Spawn as it marked the 30th Anniversary for both the publisher and comic. Spawn has always had great cover art and last year was no different. I picked four as that is the Cohost limit here lol. One thing that fascinates me is how in 30 years Spawn has kept the exact same logo. It changes colors from issue to issue but the logo itself has remained the same. Last year also marked the full roll out of the complete Spawn Universe. There have always been the occasional spinoff book, but now there are 4 Spawn books running simultaneously in the same timeline that tie together. We are going to cover some of my favorite covers from them shortly.

King Spawn kicked off the wider Spawn universe in the fall of 2021. It’s the first in three Spawn tie in books that expands the current storyline. So not ask me how because like all things modern Spawn it’s a bit confusing how it all ties together lol.
