9 years ago Maybe even a notification when Alice accepted your Friend Request. Still this is a thing that will need some time.

6 years ago More than 2 years later, how are we doing on this?
A much requested feature yet to be implemented are FB-style notifications, alerting (and directing) a user to a place of interaction, with her or with something she posted.
Say Alice is using whispeer. Possible situations for notifications would be the following, the first two being already implemented at least partially (i.e. with a visual reminder).
These notifications should (at some point) be opt-out, meaning that Alice can disable notifications for a single post (e.g. to avoid being bothered with new entries in discussions she no longer wants to partake in) or a certain type of events (e.g. all new friend requests), the latter of which could become a global setting.
In terms of UX, it would be advantageous to have a clickable surface dedicated to notifications. When clicked, it would show (in some sort of overlay window or frame, for example) the latest notifications for Alice with a short description and maybe an associated picture (i.e. the avatar of the other interacting user). These in turn take Alice to the comment, post or friend request in question when she clicks on them.
