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. 🙂

Followers are notified of new project updates.
