Do you use other services like Octobox? Strictly utilize email notifications? Slack integration? The actual notifications page?!

I currently use the Github notifications page. So far I can still handle it, but I do check notifications multiple times a day.
Currently my personal projects are in "low activity mode" and I only have a couple repositories watching "Releases only".
The only repository that spams my notifications is the DEV repo 😂but I it set to "watching" so I can follow everything that is happening.
I'm a HUGE fan of DevHub. It's cross-platform as well so I can use the same environment in the browser as well as my phones.
This looks great
And has a dark Theme too 😋
Seconded! It's a great app. I just wish it would sync with github when I have read notifications.
No email notifications at all: it's just like spam, it's bad for the environment and it's distracting.
If there are things I should review/know about quickly then my co-worker can contact me on slack or something like that.
Then whenever I have time, I go through them quickly from the notification page.
My process is:
Works pretty well.
More seriously, I use a mix of emails + the notification page and some Slack (or otherwise) notifications when possible, that's all I need.
Currently its the actual notifications page 😅
But I don't maintain any projects with outside contributions coming in...so it's very manageable, since I only get notifications when I actively participate in an issue or PR
Wait! You get notificatiins on github? 😳
I leave on email notifications since i’m pretty quick at email triage and I can snooze stuff that I know I want to get back to. I also use Trailer.app in my Mac menu bar which mostly just sends me pushes for my open source stuff (work is not included in these). Finally, for code review (90% of my notifications) I have an internal tool at work that catches non-mentioned relevant code, and when I have an hour or 2 each day or 2 I use Refined Github’s “open all in tabs” for bulk catch up & review. Generally the goal is to avoid context switching, so when i’m actively triaging or collaborating I like Trailer’s notifications, and otherwise I let them build up then do mass review when I can give it my focus.
I’ll link up these tools when I am on a computer with a keyboard
I don't. I just let them pile up in my inbox. Gmail just puts everything in my forums tab.
I don't 🤦♂️🤷♂️, I mean I'm not that picky about it. I access them anywhere. However, I got the notifications about the most important threads for me (My PRs, Issues I commented in...) in my Outlook focused inbox with a push notification.
Late to the party but I use Neat.run to catch PR review requests, failed actions, assigned issues, etc. It keeps my team's Slack channels open for chatting. Big fan of DevHub and Octobox too! Self-plug here.
