nostr:npub149p5act9a5qm9p47elp8w8h3wpwn2d7s2xecw2ygnrxqp4wgsklq9g722q, nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac and #nostrdesign I would like to get some design ideas

The more I talk on nostr and the more notes I reply to the more replies I get. I'm starting to get so many replies the chronological notifications timeline isn't working anymore

I would like to figure out the best way to build a "threads overview" view. something like what slack or discords thread view. I want to be able to see at a glance that threads I'm part of have unread replies and if I was directly replied to or mentioned in the threads

I don't know how much of the threads content (event.content) needs to be shown, but I don't think it needs much. just enough for me to identify the thread before I click on it and open it

P.S. willing to give fat zaps for good complete designs

This is also going to be required if I want to add better NIP-22 support to the app

Small accounts and accounts with a lot of interactions have different needs, it's not easy to have a single UI optimized for both scenarios.

Said that, I think that splitting the notifications into more tabs is a good general solution:

- A replies tab

- A mentions tab

- A zaps tab

- A reactions tab

The replies tab should show conversations, not plain replies, ordered by the last reply; every row shows an excerpt of the root note and has a counter that shows the unread replies.

When the user clicks a conversation, it expands and shows the replies with a minimal context of your parent note (first 10 words, you should remember your own note).

The reply can be clicked and brings to the exact position in the thread; when the user reads a reply, by active clicking or visualizing it scrolling the thread (I know this is a little tricky), the unread counter is updated. You can also highlight unread replies in the thread with a different background or a specific border on the right.

In addition, you can have a dashboard that shows only the activities in the last 24 hours, chronologically ordered; this is especially useful for small accounts.

Tabs should have a notification dot to alert if something new has been fetched from the last visit.
