Simplify and standardize site notifications #82

Open pjc09h opened 1 year ago

pjc09h commented 1 year ago

The current (broken) notification system relies on an ancient version of the noty library that depends on jQuery and is also deprecated. Notifications should be simple and leverage existing functionality: email, browser push, and private message.

The configuration should likewise be simple: do you want any combination of the above, or none at all? It's completely pointless to manage, e.g., JavaScript popups for torrents and private messages for comment quotes.

The notification options should be simple: private message, push via https://pushjs.org, and email. Some granularity is needed for a good user experience, to avoid spamming people due to coarse controls.
