ideas for notifications from Person/Bardia Pourvakil
ideally wants it in roam/render so he can move the notification block anywhere
could also parse inputs for multiple pages and blocks to watch via tabs
Basic JS overview
When the notification icon is clicked the menu populates with all mentions. I originally made it this way so you could always see new unread notifications when they come in but I can see the usefulness of a roam/render version
Problems I haven't solved yet
How to discern if a block of yours has been ref'd and not yet seen by you.
:seen-by hold the db id of the users that have seen a block so I'd need to get the db id of the current user programmatically
Stian HÃ¥klev:
Note that edit/seen is only updated when you look at a block in the context of a linked reference - not when you just see the block by itself.
Getting notifications for multiple block
Super do-able just hadn't considered until you mentioned it
Will have to think through visually how I discern the difference, probably take a cue from the native roam search bar and highlight the context
Block refs /md styling is ignored
not really a priority but annoying in the long run
Identical pull watches can be made
if a pull watch exists an identical one can be made (down to the same function being called) and the pull watch will identically fire multiple times
External notifications
Was able to hack together a (very insecure) notification system to get mention notifications on my phone. Workable but would not recommend. Also not really a priority for this
