What things won't we do, and why? Let's write them down.

I'll start by collecting them here. We can add to the README later.

  • Operating-system level features
    • Do not disturb, including on schedules. #416 (comment)
    • Persistent notifications like #281. e.g. macOS has Alerts, instead of Banners, which make them persistent
  • Seeing past notifications. This is a tool for monitoring new notifications, not seeing old ones, which can be seen at https://github.com/notifications.
  • Specific UX/UI changes that add options and/or visual complexity for minor workflow improvements. e.g. #358 and #411
  • UI for something that isn't core to Gitify, and/or can be trivially done another way. e.g. #476 and #221
  • Support anything other than Github. Doing so would be a major undertaking that we maaayyy consider in future, but it would be a ton of work and there's so much tied to Github right now that it's not something I'd want to maintain.
