One thing that many people have requested is notification icon badges for Toot!. The main reason they have not been implemented is that I've always found the use of notification badges a very toxic pattern to drive addictive behaviour on social media apps, always trying to nudge you back to opening the app.
@tootapp I had not really thought about this, but now that you’ve mentioned it, I wonder if this is part of what I really like about Toot. It has a very low stress vibe that seems to fit mastodon very well.
@kimu The most obvious choices made in the design to lower stress is to not have notification badges, and to not show post statistics on the timeline.
