wonders if he should suggest upgrading jsonfeed plugin to jf2feed

I'll support both.
#
[cleverdevil]
I'm happy to work on that ben_thatmustbeme. I'm gonna need it for /together anyway.
#
[cleverdevil]
Maybe make a ticket in GitHub for me and mention? It'd be a fun project over vacation for me!

!tell raucao: Just catching up - feeds on comments is already filed as an issue/feature request, but nobody has got to it yet. As others have also mentioned, there is a notifications page, but the link was removed in the last release because it needs some work ... if folk want to take that on that'd be awesome, I've certainly not had time :)
#
Loqi
Ok, I'll tell them that when I see them next
#

hi mapkyca. no need to have loqi tell me, i have a bouncer ;)

Notifications has been repeatedly asked for, and a feed on comments would also be useful. I'll see if I can get to it at some point...

raucao: Put together a little pull request which brings back notifications, and among other things, adds an RSS feed to notification items :) ... will hold off on merging until I confer with ben and kyle, since notifications were removed for "UI reasons", but I'm not sure what those were, other than the read/unread class names being wrong. Meanwhile, feel free to kick the tires :)

Fyi, I've restored the notifications page for now, with some basic cosmetic work to make it a little more usable. Still needs a lot of work, and I think Ben and Erin want to explore different ways of representing this data, but since we're mid release it seems sensible to have some existing code to work with...

tantek
the theming / cosmetic questions / issues are worthy of consideration
#
tantek
makes me wonder if every such system should have a generic "stream page" theme that can be applied to any new 'stream-like' page
#
[cleverdevil]
So, Known has that, really.
#
[cleverdevil]
But, notifications are a bit different than standard streams.
#
tantek
e.g. anything where otherwise you might say "just look at it in a reader" implies that a theme could have such a "reader stream" template in the theme that could be applied to any new h-feed page
#
[cleverdevil]
Different type of data being represented.
#
[cleverdevil]
Well, I suppose it isn't *that* different.
#
tantek
can you point to screenshots of examples that show such differences?
#
[cleverdevil]
Actually, now that I think about it, its really not that different...
#
tantek
[cleverdevil]: the point is, if someone could say "I just want to see it in a reader" - implies that they don't care for its presentation to be any different than a generic stream
#
tantek
so no need to make it more complicated
#
[cleverdevil]
Yeah, point taken.
#
[cleverdevil]
I'd have to look in more detail, but I definitely think that the current notifications page in Known could potentially be re-envisioned as an alternate "stream" type view.
#
tantek
this is why I think any such "theme" should include a generic "stream page" template
#
tantek
so any new feature that shows more than one "item" could default to using that template
#
tantek
so it at least would look "ok" / good enough to ship
#
tantek
then later, as a separate incremental step, if someone feels like it deserves more custom treatment, they could create a custom template for it. but keeping that as a second strictly optional step would help with more rapidly deploying new stream-like features.

Forgot to add as well, I added feed support to the notifications page, since some folk wanted it and it wasn't too tricky :)
#
[cleverdevil]
Just pulled it into my site, looks pretty good.
#
[cleverdevil]
My biggest issue with it is how Bridgy-fed Likes/Shares show up.
#
mapkyca
not really looked into those that much tbh, but like I said... work in progress :)
#
[cleverdevil]
Indeed, and great job, it looks awesome overall.
