You ready for the silliest Feature Request Ever? Colour-coded edges in the Notifications view!

[nebulon]

So currently the real important actionable notifications (like reboot, email misconfiguration, ...) already bubble up to the top until they are solved. Others like out-of-memory notifications are only really actionable if they happen again and again, one should not immediately jump onto fixing this, as mentioned in the notification itself.

On top of all this, comes the different Cloudron use-cases and user perception on what is useful/important and what isn't.

But I agree while we won't be able to solve it perfectly, it still makes sense to improve a bit and we can go step-by-step here.

Do they?

I've never noticed that.

I just went to look at my notifications and they look like this right now:

The 3 most important ones have not bubbled up to the top, they are at the bottom after 4 "updated to package version" notifications.

(also, just as an aside: in my case this specific "Email is not configured properly" notification is actually not at all important, as it's for an app/ domain for which I'm not using any email, is already set to Outbound email only, and is an domain I don't control the DNS for and so can't actually fix myself - so I'd actually like to be able tell Cloudron to never tell me about it again. And I've seen that desire expressed by others on this forum before too)

@jdaviescoates btw , for the email , you can go to Email -> Outbound -> Disabled - if that applies to your situation. Then, that notification won't appear.

@jdaviescoates they are not sticky on the top, but everytime the check is run and they haven't been solved, they will move back up and be set unread again.

Thanks, I may do that. But perhaps not, because presumably that'd stop Wordfence telling me about issues it finds with that WordPress site too? (although perhaps I should also double check if it is/ can actually do/ing that now given the current email status...)

We've added some basic color coding now for next release:

With this we can then later add something like apprise depending on notification types.

[jdaviescoates]

@nebulon great stuff, thanks!

Are you able to share a list of what notifications go which colour?

[nebulon]

The current color coding is a client side filter https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/dashboard/src/js/index.js?ref_type=heads#L121

All possible notification types are at https://git.cloudron.io/cloudron/box/-/blob/master/src/notifications.js?ref_type=heads#L12

It should look even better in dark mode!

Ah, At-a-glance convenience

... let's look closer at the new and improved Red notification....
WHAT!?

THIS IS A JOKE. ATTENTION> THIS IS A BAD ATTEMPT AT HUMOUR> I WILL DELETE THIS AFTER A FEW MINUTES>
