No problem at all. Definitely does, it's a broad problem and we're still figuring it out too.

As a dev, I almost always miss my GitHub notifications unless I'm constantly checking the platform in my browser. We want to bring all the platforms we use for work into one native place. Does that make more sense now?

Maybe I'm being dense here, but can't you use email?

But why would anyone be constantly checking GitHub notifications? Isn't that a distraction?

I am currently working on a service for GitHub project reports and analytics. Would you be interested in that? If so, leave your mail here and I'll put you in beta! https://sneak-peek.io/product/ohmycode

Doesn’t MacOS already have an elaborate notification implementation? Would not integrating with that work?

Many people have the notification center on Do Not Disturb indefinitely. It's noisy and unactionable for a a lot of people, including myself.

We want to integrate deeply into SaaS platforms to provide one-click access to features within those platforms. For example, viewing and resolving comments on a Google Doc. This just isn't possible through Mac's notification center.

How do you prevent your platform from becoming equally noisy and unactionable?
