As an end user in @Seth_Godin workshops, we partake in heavy use of @ mentions.
What would be super awesome great is a visual distinction in the notifications dropdown (and on the notifications page) between when I’m personally mentioned vs when my group is mentioned.
At present, the only way to tell is to click into the notifications page and then hover over them one at a time.
Being able to just scroll and look would provide alot of time saved and open threads to the server.
Consider this scenario:
PersonA @ mentions me in a sub-conversation quote where we had been deep in it
PersonA also @ mentions a group I’m in
The next day I’m scrolling my mentions, and all I see is @ and who made the mention.
Invariably I will click the wrong one. Since I can’t “reset” a notification, I’m then opening a separate tab to get back to the conversation and using up system threads unnecessarily.
Then multiply that situation by a 20 person group.
Consider if the dropdown had a simple distinguishing symbol
@
!@
doesn’t matter, just something to make it clear I am being summoned for my awesomeness vs “hey group, let’s collaborate!”
It would really help prioritize and focus how I tackle the mentions list. I imagine this would benefit lots of users across the board.
thanks for your time in considering this notion
and thanks for an amazing product!
