Notifications when a new Feature is Suggested

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
Currently I often forget to check the Feature Request. By the time I do check, I am not sure which ones I have reviewed. Meaning some suggestions get missed.How does this feature request address the current situation?
I would really love if a notification would be sent when someone posts a new Feature Request. This would help everyone to have a chance to check them out.What are other uses for this feature request?
I think this would make the feature request system more robust and get more people involved in WA's awesome creation process.
The Team's Response
Thanks for your suggestion! We won't send notifications to every single user (not even every single active user), because that would be a ton of notifications to users who might not be interested. That said, we're considering an opt-in toggle to be notified; if that's something you want, feel free to open a new feature suggestion to see if there's interest! We're also working on something that, among other things, will make feature suggestions a bit more visible.

on 2024-12-19 00:02I already have borderline attention deficit disorder from the number of things (in the internet in general, not specifically WA) that sent me notifications about their quotidian activity whether I care or not. I wouldn't be against an opt in but I'd definitely want the default to be opt out. It just doesn't seem that hard to me to visit the suggestion page when you're interested and not when you're nagged.

on 2024-12-16 20:01I like the idea of opt-in notifications for suggestions, but make the opt-out be default. We used to have suggestion notifications, but people got so annoyed by them that a bunch of suggestions asked to remove the notifications. I think the happy medium is to have an opt-in/opt-out option, with the default on opt-out, so that those who want notifications can have them, while accommodating the folks for whom such notifications drive nuts.

on 2024-12-15 19:14They're sorted by date descending, no? Now I wouldn't mind for the list to say which ones I already voted on, 'cause sometimes I leave one since I want to ruminate on it for a bit, but I don't see the point in notifications.

on 2024-12-15 17:20WA already notifies you if someone you follow posts a suggestion. Getting a notif for every new suggestion would make it harder to track ones I care about, harder to manage notifications in general, and has potential to inundate people with notifications they don't want. An alternative could be automatically marking a suggestion as Reviewed if you've clicked the link, or Voted if you've submitted a response. Or a way to opt-in to notifications, like tracking the request board in general or requests within a certain category.
