Tiny little mobile feature request: dot indicator

Posted by TheFireTheft
Tags: suggestions, features, ui

When viewing the desktop version of the website, there is a little orange notification to the left of my name when there are replies to my messages.

When viewing the website in mobile, there is no such indication, and I have to open up the sidebar to see if I have any new replies.

Could we get a simple, orange "dot" indicator to the left the Sidebar link in mobile to let us know when we have unread messages?

I apologize in advance for the imgur link, but it could look something like this: Example

      Just viewing it through a mobile browser. I've done Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android.

        What addons do you have? Are you definitely logged in? I can confirm safari on iOS has an indicator.

          I just checked and it's showing the indicator now. Either I'm going crazy, or there was an update overnight. Probably the former.

            I can't speak to whether your browser was updated or not... but there was no update on Tildes side of things, AFAIK. Last update was 1 week ago, adding GPTBot to robots.txt. But if it happens...

But if it happens again, or you can figure out how to replicate the bug (if it is one), let me know so I can file a bug report in case the issue can somehow be resolved on Tildes end.

        Kinda late to write "inb4" when you're the sixth one (including one deleted comment).
