Notifications are less than ideal.

[Bruno de Souza Lino]

I was wondering if I should make this post or not, but it has run its course. There are some issues with the notification system that make it unusable and getting more in your way than anything:

- When you click on the bell to see which notifications you have, clicking on any of them automatically marks all the others as read. That makes notifications semi useless, as now you have to remember which notifications are new and which are not simply because you chose to see one.

- If you click on the bottom toast to see a notification you just received, it's not marked as read on the bell. While that might be a desirable feature, it may lead to user annoyance after they either went away for a while or weren't paying attention, see a notification on the bell and it's from a message they've already looked at or responded to.
