Investigate octobox.io for knative notifications #174

Closed jessiezcc closed 5 years ago

jessiezcc commented 5 years ago

This came up from slack discussions. Both @bbrowning and markus.thoemmes are recommending octobox.io as a great tool for catching git notifications. and it also supports "Run your own Octobox"

Funnily enough, I got notified of this issue via my Octobox tab!

Prior to Octobox, I managed GitHub notifications via Gmail labels and filters. That worked, to an extent, but all too often I found myself avoiding anything to do with email because of all the other distracting and tempting unread things that lurk there.

Now I have a pinned tab in my browser for Octobox and I can go there to see any GH issues that need my attention or that I subscribed to and have had recent activity. It's similar in spirit to the Gubernator PR dashboard, which I also keep in a pinned tab.

cc @markusthoemmes It'd be beneficial to evangelize some of these notification mgmt tooling across the community as part of productivity wg initiatives.

Definitely, it's a great tool for anybody who's trying to stay on top of things, especially because you see for every notification why you got it in the first place (be it a mention, an assignment or just because you subscribed). I'll spread the word!

We had discussion, no engineering work to be done here.
