Question
Best practice for adding "notifications" to a site?
Making a dating site.
Imagine James "hearts" Sally's profile. I want a simple notification for Sally next time she logs in. Like Indie Hackers, where a little red number by your profile.
My current idea is having both:
{hearts: [james, fred, george]} {notifications: [james]}
objects in the users mongo database. And every time an item gets added to hearts it also gets added to notifications. Then when a user acknowledges the notification i remove the item from notifications?
I've never done notifications before so wasn't sure there is a best practice? Bear in mind I also want to add in some notifications for messaging later β thank you!
