Notifications in Leaflet

New in Leaflet: notifications! We've been adding more social features, like subscribing to publications and comments on posts, but til now haven't had a good way to follow these interactions.

We now have a notification page! With in-app notifications for:

comments on your posts

replies to comments you make

new follows of your publications

When logged in, you'll see a notifications link (bell icon) from your homepage, which takes you to: https://leaflet.pub/notifications

⁂ ⁂ ⁂

default state, no new notifications

new, unread notifications!

Here's what they look like (with our home theme at least!)

Notifications are in-app to start, but we'd like to add other channels! Bluesky DM? Email? Handwritten on a gently falling leaf?

We have a few other things in mind for notifications (and in some cases new Leaflet features!) that might be cool:

@-mentions, if people tag you in a post or comment (could include a way to mention publications too)

follow publications (like the YouTube bell, to get notified on new activity from a pub)

backlinks, when other posts quote or link to yours

Let us know in the comments if you have other ideas or suggestions for anything that'd improve the notifications experience here!
