Notifications

What other people did that you need to know about, and what the day has in it. Verdande tells you in three places at once, and they are the same thing said three ways: the bell in the header, a push to your devices, and the badge on the app's icon.

What causes one

Somebody edited a note shared with you	Repeat edits fold into one line while it is unread
Somebody shared a note with you	Once, when it happens
Somebody shared a project with you	Once, when it happens — the entry opens the project, and its share panel has a Leave the project button
Somebody named you in a note with @	Instead of "edited a note" — one act, one message
Somebody gave you a task	Only on the change, and only to the person who got it
Somebody commented
Today's plan, if you turned it on	In the morning, at the hour you chose — it opens the card on I dag
A new version is out	Administrators only, once per version

Not your own actions: the server does not tell anybody what they just did themselves. And not everything that happens — a bell that rings at every change in a shared project is a bell people stop looking at.

Repeat edits are folded. A note is saved on every typing pause, so one person writing for five minutes would otherwise be twenty identical lines. While the message is unread, a further edit moves it back to the top and says who touched it last. Once you have read it, the next edit is a new thing to be told.

Push, and the badge

Settings → Beskeder turns on Web Push for the device you are sitting at, per device: the phone in your pocket and the laptop you have open are different answers, and a permission granted on one is not the other's.

The badge — the number on the icon in the Dock on a Mac, on the taskbar on a PC — needs the app to be installed (added to the Dock, or installed as an app in Chrome or Edge). Half the point of being told is being told while you are doing something else, and the icon is the only place the app can say anything then. It counts unread messages and goes down by itself as you read them. Firefox does not support it; nothing else changes there.

The sentence you see is written in your browser from what happened and who did it, so an English interface gets an English bell. The server's own wording is Danish and is used only for push, which has no dictionary to look a phrase up in.

Telling you about a new version

If the update check is on, administrators get one notification per version — never one a day about the same one — and it leads to Settings → Beskeder, where the button that restarts the instance to update it sits. With the check off, nothing is fetched and nothing is said.
