Notifications
Problem
At the moment email notifications are binary on/off for everything - comments, updates, threads.
This means users can either accept everything or switch notifications off and miss out on key project updates.
Proposed solution
Separate out notification permissions:
- new projects (on/off)
- new project updates (on/off)
- new threads (on/off)
- new comments (on/off)
- project update reminders (on/off)
In addition, each thread/update will have a custom toggle to override the default setting. This will allow users to e.g. turn off/on notifications for a particular thread.
Example of how Discourse does this:
And how GitHub does it:
We should also add unsubscribe links in all emails to turn off notifications for that item.
How can I help?
Follow the project to receive updates. Post and comment on threads with feedback and ideas. 🙂
