Expand Consolidated Notifications In-Place

Contribute UX

AI-generated summary

The current consolidated notification system can be frustrating for users working on multiple huge topics. To improve user experience, nildarar suggests adding a button to expand consolidated notifications in-place, allowing users to view replies without navigating through multiple pages. This would significantly shorten the process of responding to notifications, making it more efficient, especially on mobile devices.

Sometimes displaying notifications as a single notification is annoying when working on multiple huge topics (which we do not want to read all replies of them). Especially when a large number of replies are sent to you at the same time.

Each time the user must follow the following path:

  1. Click on his profile picture
  2. Click on the notification icon
  3. Click the icon again or press the down arrow
  4. In the side menu, click on “Responses” (or on mobile, open the menu and select it)
  5. (Page loading)
  6. Find the response and click on it
  7. (Page loading)
  8. Write the answer
  9. Return to the previous page to check for other responses
  10. (Page loading)

Doing the above tasks on mobile becomes even more difficult!

It would help a lot of active users if we could expand the consolidated notifications. For example, placing a button next to the title “3 replies, the topic title” that when pressed, the replies will be expanded. I think doing this will help a lot to improve the user experience.

This shortens the path as follows:

  1. Click on his profile picture
  2. Click on the notification icon
  3. Expand the notification
  4. (Data loading)
  5. Click on Response
  6. (Page loading)
  7. Write the answer
  8. To check other responses, click on his profile picture
