gitify See past notifications?

Great app! I like getting notifications that much faster but... main reason I installed gitify was to see past notifications.

Is it possible to see or save / keep past notifications? or to put it on the roadmap?

I have a tendency to login to github, look at my notifications, and say "I'll get to this later", and I never do because the notification is missing so I've now been bookmarking specific issues I want to get back to...

I also bookmarked this issue. 🤣

It looks like this should be possible from the documentation here, but I'm not sure how this would fit into Gitify's current purpose and or UI.

Perhaps adding a link to all notifications would suffice?

Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately that link will only show recent notifications. There isn't an easy way in github to show past notifications.

Oh, you mean like really old ones? o__O

Such as ones that are older than a week. Kind of like how you can login to your email and once you read your email, it doesn't vanish after a week. It will still be there so you can click on it.

Github seems to strictly enforce notification zero (like inbox zero) and one way around that would be to build the feature into an app that parses notifications such as Gitify.

A "watch later" (like YouTube) kind of thing would be nice. I also end up with a million tabs on one browser window that just link to open issues.

Edit: To which this issue has just been added. XD

Github has this built-in, at https://github.com/notifications. No need for Gitify to build it.

Gitify is a tool for live monitoring notifications at the OS level, which is something Github doesn't do. We want to stay focused on only doing things that don't already exist. We'll document this as a non-goal: https://github.com/gitify-app/gitify/issues/655
