Description
As a user, I want to receive in-app notifications about project updates, funding milestones, and messages so that I stay informed without having to check manually.
Description
An in-app notification system that keeps users informed about relevant activity on the platform. A bell icon with unread count provides quick access to recent notifications.
Scope
- In-app notification center (bell icon with unread count)
- Notification types:
- Product updates (new blog posts, roadmap changes)
- Funding milestones (roadmap item reaches funding goal)
- Roadmap item status changes (idea -> in progress -> completed)
- Discussion replies and mentions
- Mark as read / mark all as read
