Notification updates
Before this update, notifications were generated on the fly, in your browser by checking all relevant card changes. This approach led to some performance issues for projects with a lot of activity. So we improved it significantly by generating notifications on the server instead. This should speed up a lot of interactions that could potentially generate notifications.
But this update did not only improve performance but came with a lot of new features as well:
- Dismiss all: a.k.a. declaring notification bankruptcy 📉. By holding down the dismiss button in one of the three notification groups (cards you own, cards you’re subscribed to, conversations) you can remove all notification at once.
- Snoozing conversations: Previously this notification wouldn’t show up if some conversation participant still had an open notification for this conversation. Not ideal if one of the participants wouldn’t check (and dismiss) their notifications on a regular basis. Now it’s always shown to all participants after some inactivity on the thread.
- Subscribing to cards: You’re automatically subscribed to a card if you’re the card creator or if you’re mentioned on a card. (Yes, we’ll definitely plan on adding an interface to let people know who is subscribed to a card and allowing them to unsubscribe.)
- Notifications for mentions in cards: This is actually more of a bug-fix. Before, you would only receive a notification for being mentioned on a card if you were observing it (via deck or card subscription). Now you’ll always get a notification if you get mentioned in a card’s content.
- Group notifications by milestone & deck: When multiple cards are moved to a new milestone or deck, it’ll generate a single notification pill instead of one notification pill per card.
- Last participant notification: If everyone left a conversation except you, you’ll now get a notification.
Further improvements and fixes
- Owner & deck picker: Will now show reasonable defaults again, based on your history.
- Time tracking widget: Clicking on the card title now opens the card in your current context and doesn’t always jump to the hand.
- Mini cards: Allow to set priority and effort by hovering over the icon and hitting a number from 0-3 or 0-9 respectively.
- Milestone inspector: Switching from one milestone to another doesn’t remove the currently active search filter
- Prop panel: fix layout issue when scrollbar is present
- Card content updates: No more crash when updating content close to an emoji 💥
- Password reset: we added a password reset form on our homepage in case you forgot your organization’s domain name.
