While connected, go to “`/my/notifications`” and click the Mark all as Read button 😉

Also another question, is there a way to remove account from launcher’s ssh? Like you can create admin with `rake admin:create` Is there a rake user:remove or something else like that?

At the moment you cannot “delete” notifications, only mark them as read. What is your goal in deleting the notification?

There is an edge case where we do not show the button if you have nothing to mark read.

Should we enable it all the time? Might help OCD people, even if it is like the elevator door close button that does nothing…

Sure, I am fine with just leaving it around. Way too fancy this hiding button thing.
