Internal route notes
These routes support Frostal's own notifications UI. They are internal site interfaces, not public developer endpoints.
/api/user/notifications- Internal authenticated route returning the current user notifications list and unread count.
/api/user/me- Internal current-user payload route that also carries unread notification count for shared topbar state.
Important behavior
- Live notification types include post mentions, comment mentions, comments posted onto a user's post, and thumbs-up/thumbs-down reactions on posts/comments.
- Users cannot notify themselves with self mentions.
- Comment-on-post notifications include who commented, what post it was on, when it happened, and a jump link to the comment.
- Reaction notifications are created when another user adds either a
👍 or 👎 reaction to a post or comment.
- Read/unread mutation actions are not implemented yet.
