Notifications

Real-time alerts for the events that matter

A Server-Sent Events stream — no polling, no refresh, no delay. Per-type mute controls, digest batching, and inline actions.

What it does

Built for the way research actually happens

Notifications are delivered in real time over a Server-Sent Events stream. No polling, no refresh, no delay. Every event type is categorized — answers, best answers, mentions, community invites, new followers, bounty awards — and each one can be muted or batched into a digest.

Inline actions let you accept, dismiss, or follow back without leaving the notification panel. Mark all as read in one tap. The unread badge syncs across devices, so the count on your laptop matches the count on your phone.

How it works

Three steps from idea to outcome

1

Receive in real time

The SSE stream pushes new notifications the moment the event happens.

2

Act inline

Accept, dismiss, or follow back without leaving the panel.

3

Tune your preferences

Mute types you do not care about. Batch the rest into a daily digest.

Why it matters

Benefits that compound

  • Real-time SSE stream — no polling, no refresh
  • Per-type mute controls and digest batching
  • Inline actions — accept, dismiss, or follow back
  • Mark all as read and unread badge sync across devices
