Thread: QoL suggestion: on-site internest communication

Ooh, like a messaging system specific to each InterNest? Are there aspects of the pre-existing messaging system that don't currently work for a similar purpose? I hesitate to add new features whose function is already covered by existing site features, but perhaps sending a direct messages feels like too big of an interruption/commitment just to notify the recipient that the chicken is ready?

A "ready" button that's like a remind button that lets you attach an optional message to it could work, I'll think through the implementation.

@circlejourney IMO, yeah, direct messaging does feel like an interruption for what would be a simple message that someone may have to send several times over the course of their experience with chickenpet. i think of it akin to the "reminder" button on trades which serves a similar purpose to a theoretical "ready" button on internests!

like i said, though, this doesn't ruin the experience of internesting at all, it would just make it a little smoother i understand if you think DMs already serve this function fine enough and would rather avoid adding more stuff to an already complicated to program system

The Ready button makes sense to me! I can see a way of making it work that would be similar to the trades, yeah (maybe with a little message attached to the notification). I think that's the best of both worlds in terms of not being intrusive but not turning into a whole separate messaging system!

Locking because it has been implemented!
