Every thing we offer has a tremendous cost attached to it. We could lead, if we were doing one thing and offering a fixed solution. However, as you well know, we offer a million solutions that all somehow need to work together.

So this:

Is wholesomely naïve, sorry to say. That won’t happen. Instead, we will be asked to provide a solution for _”összes megtekintése”_ (Hungarian) or something.

> On mobile, the View All and the Dismiss buttons could be stacked vertically, instead of horizontally

Yes, that seems like a likely solution, until there is a complaint from someone who uses the biggest font-size + 400% zoom, and says they can only see 1.5 notifications and “why are these buttons not next to each other”.

I’m not trying to dismiss (get it?) your point; it annoys me too often (my workaround is looking at everything I _do_ want to look at, and then using the `dismiss all`), I’m just trying to illustrate that it’s often not so straightforward as it looks in one setup.

I would like that a lot. We have it in one place already (to remove chat dms).
