Notifications¶

At a glance. Your inbox collects what matters to you — an approved join request, a new report in moderation, a role change. New notifications arrive in real time. Optionally, you can additionally be notified via web push directly in the browser. What you receive is up to you.

You reach the inbox via the Inbox entry in the navigation.

The inbox¶

The Notifications area has two equal tabs:

Messages — your inbox.
Settings — what you get notified about and how.

The Messages are laid out as list-and-detail: on the left, compact rows with date and title; on the right, the details of the selected message — with text, timestamp, an "Open" action (jumps straight to the affected content, if there is any) and the option to delete. Unread items are marked; you can mark all as read. On narrow screens the detail view opens as its own step.

New notifications appear in real time — without reloading the page.

Web push (optional)¶

In addition to the inbox, locali can notify you via web push — directly in the browser, without installing an app. This is voluntary: each person decides for themselves whether to enable push, under Notifications → Settings. Your browser then asks once for permission.

Installed as an app?

If you have installed locali as an app (PWA), the app icon shows the number of your unread notifications as a badge. → For Members

Frequently asked questions¶

Question	Answer
Do I have to enable push?	No. The inbox always works; web push is an optional addition.
Why don't I see an "Open" button?	Only notifications that point to specific content offer "Open".
Are notifications synchronised between devices?	The inbox belongs to your account and is the same everywhere. The push permission applies per browser/device.
