Problem: People might not come back if we don't prompt/remind/etc.

Things we could notify about:

new prompts [BETA]
comments on prompts you've submitted
comments on prompts you've responded to
upvotes on your stuff
digest of high-traffic/popular stuff?

Mechanisms:

email [BETA]
SMS
eventually the 'top right corner (3) thing' too, less of a retention more of an engagement thing

Frequency:

As it happens
Daily/weekly [BETA]/monthly digest
Consider letting user choose, esp. the things about which they get notified

Considerations:

Opt out
Changing signup flow/experience to explain this
Add concept of 'settings' for accounts, etc.
Do we need to set up an email server/service? Don't want to violate spam laws, get sent to filters, etc. How do?
