Feedback & States · notifications

Updated 2026-07-28

Notifications compete for human attention.
Before sending one, ask:

Does the user need this now?

Does this require action?

Is this better inside the app?

Prioritize:

Important events.
Time-sensitive actions.
Personal relevance.

Avoid:

Notification spam.
Fake urgency.
Engagement-only alerts.

Every notification spends trust.
