Changelog: Don't forget to hit that notification bell

👋 Hey all,

My name is Phil, and I’m Senior Product Manager at Forem, the folks behind the DEV Community. It’s great to be a part of such a vibrant and enthusiastic community and I’m really excited to bring some new features to the platform to help you all find great content and connect with other passionate DEVs from around the world.

We want DEV to be a great place for discussion, whether that be the latest front-end framework that you’re interested in, your favourite open-source repo you’ve contributed to, through to the intricacies (and dangers!) of using inline assembly. That’s why you can find great topics at #discuss and also on the thousands of great posts that hit your feed every week.

At DEV, you’ve always been able to stay up-to-date with the new comments on posts you want to keep track of, through post subscriptions, which you can activate using the subscribe button above the comment box.

I’m pleased to update everyone a new feature we’ve shipped to DEV - subscription indicators in /notifications. You can see them in action now by heading over to your notifications page.

These give you the option to subscribe to new articles that come through from users or organizations you follow, but also through any of your existing comment subscriptions - meaning you can easily unsubscribe from any article or thread that’s getting a bit too popular. This way you can never miss out on an interesting discussion on DEV, as it's happening.

We’re excited to bring new improvements to notifications, subscriptions and the feed over the next few weeks. So, stay tuned for more updates on #changelog!

I'm always open to any feedback or ideas. Let me know in the comments below, or send me an email at philip@forem.com - I'd love to hear from you!
