We need a new tab at the top ("Browse", "Create", "Notifications").
We could do long-polling/web-sockets in the future to push notifications, for now I'm going to stick to short-polling as it's the easiest (if we want little toaster messages). If we don't need toaster messages, then no polling is needed at all.
Take a look at the estimated work of toaster messages and if it's not too bad do it, otherwise just have the basic notification tab. As long as users can get the notifications (such as "someone answered your question") with a link then that's good enough.
