[GitHub] Show notification bar in GitHub UI when opening a notification in browser

Extension

Description

It would be great if when I open a notification from the menubar or command in my browser that I get the same experience as when navigating from the GitHub web notification list

Who will benefit from this feature?

Will allow me to easily organise notifications by eg. marking them as done.

Anything else?

I noticed that too, but the issue is that, we show all notifications (grouped by read/unread) including done notifications instead of only "undone" ones:

const {
    data,
    isLoading,
    mutate: mutateList,
  } = useCachedPromise(async () => {
    const response = await octokit.rest.activity.listNotificationsForAuthenticatedUser({ all: true });
    return response.data;
  });

If you can change that to all: false, then only unread notifications show up and not "undone" notifications.

But generally i am in favor of showing only undone notifications and then sort them by read/unread.

When I navigate to a done notification from the GitHub UI I also get a banner, could a navigation from Raycast match this behaviour?

Like you though, I personally have no need for seeing done notifications in Raycast.

[thomaslombart]

It won't be possible to show a navigation banner like GitHub's UI. However, we can certainly add more actions in the Action Panel like the Unsubscribe one (so we'd need to probably call this endpoint). Not sure about the Save action as I didn't found anything in the GitHub's API.

[antonengelhardt]

Unsubscribe is already there:

I think it would be very useful, if the Github extension actually replicated the grouping of the GitHub Web UI, meaning that we group by unread/read/done. Currently, i see all notifications in my extension. I tick them off in the web ui and also in GH mobile app. But they still appear in the Read Section in the extension... What do you think?

[antonengelhardt]

Unsure if this even possible, as the notification object doesn't include any info if its done or not. Same for the endpoint listNotificationsForAuthenticatedUser(), which has the filter, but it only filters away read notifications. Hmm

[thomaslombart]

Oh yeah, true. I didn't even remember I added it 😄

Unfortunately, the GitHub notifications API is limited so not sure we can do something here…
