Notification History
History Panel
View past notifications:
- Access via the Notification History panel or the Inbox panel
- Shows recent notification entries with feed icons and thumbnails when available
- Progressive batch rendering: Uses
IntersectionObserverto render items incrementally in batches (50 to 80 cards). This prevents DOM explosion and UI freezing even with 1,000+ stored notifications. - Adaptive badges: The top-bar notification badge automatically adopts your active theme accent color. If stored notifications reach the configured history limit, the badge switches to a red limit warning indicator.
- Batched event throttling: Real-time incoming notifications during background feed fetching are throttled with 500ms batching to ensure zero UI lag.
- Clear history option to remove all stored entries
History Settings
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Max items | Maximum notifications to store, default 1000 |
| Unlimited | Set the limit to Unlimited to keep all history items |
Tray History
The system-tray menu includes a real-time synchronized Recent notifications submenu. Select an item to open its article, or choose View all notifications to open the full history panel.
