        monkey akashgp09[m] i was making notification dropdown. Which one do you think is better, 1. dropdown with 5 notifications and `see all notifications` redirect link. 2. dropdown with infinite scroller
      • akashgp09[m]
        the second one sounds good to me.
      • most of the social media applications follow the infinite scrolling design.
      • prabaaaaal
        yeah even I am inclined towards that
      • won't have to make a notifications page if there's an infinite scroller :P
      • CatQuest
        NO INFINITE SCROLLING
      • I *hate* that
      • especially in things like ,enues wtf
      • dropdown with infinite scrolling? wat
      • honestly just having a "see notifications" is fine. or how it works on discourse
      • wich is guess is 1
      • reosarevok
        I'd also prefer to have a page, personally - infinite scrolling only works IMO on stuff like Facebook because they expect you to be there all the time
      • Right now I only visit FB like once a week or so and the notifications dropdown is just a huge mess every time without a good way to just see them all comfortably
      • monkey
        I could see the use of having both, to be honest.
      • To take the example of Facebook as well, there's a notification window with infitie scroll, but also a button to "see all" that redirects to a full page (which by the way also has infinite scrolling rather than pagination)
      • I'm not attached to the infinite scrolling but I think if there is an easy was to access a full page it's not a bad idea to have it, it usually allows to have a quicker look
      • The Youtube notification tray only shows the 8 most recent notifications, and that's that.
      • reosarevok
        Yeah, I'm certainly ok with having both if you're willing to maintain both
      • prabaaaaal
        uhhuh
      • yeah we can have both of them :))
      • monkey
        I would say start with showing the last 10 notifications and a "see all" button, and then move on to implementing an infinite scroll.

        anyway what is this for anyway? like I expect bb notifications to be far between? or do you mean like for revisions/editmail? because those i except to email me, and then to have a "view notifications" page like on mb
      • infact I'd focus moe on the emailing thing that onsite notifications
      • tho onsite notification is cool
      • monkey
        Both go together in the end; but having a way to display the notifications will be helpful for development at first (where email can be harder to test)
      • CatQuest
        that's true
      • (I remember initally messages where not mailed on mb)
      • (øike in 2005)
      • like*
      • reosarevok
        We're still hoping to allow that in MB too, FWIW
      • Since many people don't want (or use, really) email anymore

        weirdos :P
      • reosarevok
        I think a lot of young people barely know how to use email
      • monkey
        E-what?
      • reosarevok
        And I mean, for some people the internet is basically apps on their phone, for most of their day :)
      • CatQuest
        yeesh
      • I read somewhere that milleials actually have to educate the teens abotu the same thig they had to educate theri parents/grandparents on. becasue teens today don't actually have a concept of things like "directory structure" etc
      • reosarevok
        Yep
