> I’d love to hear what type of information you’d expect to see in notifications. What would be useful to you? What is completely NOT useful to you that’s already there? Is the main challenge just determining which are read / unread?

Well, first of all, it’s important for the notifications to be chronological order, so the newest are on top. Besides that, as others have said, new ones should be marked in some way. Could be a dot, or change of background color like on Twitter.

Essential information:

- New pledge, cancelled pledge, changed pledge
- Comments

Useful:

- The monthly summary of pledge changes
- Patrons have been charged $Value
- Your pledges have gone through message (would be nice to add the amount I was charged!)

Rather less useful (in my opinion):

- Likes (currently included prominently)

Note that there are a lot of issues with duplication of notifications:

- The notification “Your patrons have been charged for Month. $Value has been added to your account balance.” often shows up duplicated. I just had the one for November show up 4 times in a row even.

- The notification “Success! Your pledges for your creators have gone through. Thanks for all of your support!” appears duplicated sometimes as well.

- The monthly summary has a “Show More” link that _consistently_ duplicates the ones that were already shown the first time you click it.

- Some notifications appear to get duplicated when they are at the bottom of the page and you scroll down, causing more to get loaded.
