Planen var en notifikation og ikke andet. Klokken klippede den af efter én linje — "2 forfalder i dag, 1 er sprun…" — og klikket førte ingen steder hen, fordi en plan hverken er en note, en opgave eller et projekt. Det eneste sted, den landede hel, var push-beskeden på telefonen. Nu står den som et kort øverst på I dag, dér hvor man kigger, når man starter dagen. Beskeden er påmindelsen; kortet er stedet, den bliver. Teksten er gemt for dagen frem for regnet forfra, hver gang nogen kigger. En model pr. sidevisning er dyr for noget, der ikke har ændret sig — og vigtigere: en plan, der siger noget andet, når man kigger på den, end den sagde, da den kom, er værre end begge dele hver for sig. Kortet siger også, hvornår den blev lavet: en plan fra klokken syv er en anden slags oplysning klokken fire end klokken otte. En plan fra i går sendes ikke med. Et kort, der viser gårsdagens plan under overskriften "i dag", er værre end et tomt kort. "Forny planen" laver en ny, når dagen har flyttet sig, og sender ikke en besked om noget, man står og kigger på — den slags lærer folk at ignorere klokken. Og for den, der har morgenbeskeden slået fra, tilbyder kortet at lave planen på stedet, så funktionen ikke kun findes for dem, der vil vækkes. Klokken fører nu til I dag, og planen fylder de tre linjer, den er, i stedet for at blive klippet af. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Notifications
What other people did that you need to know about, and what the day has in it. Verdande tells you in three places at once, and they are the same thing said three ways: the bell in the header, a push to your devices, and the badge on the app's icon.
What causes one
| Somebody edited a note shared with you | Repeat edits fold into one line while it is unread |
| Somebody shared a note with you | Once, when it happens |
Somebody named you in a note with @ |
Instead of "edited a note" — one act, one message |
| Somebody gave you a task | Only on the change, and only to the person who got it |
| Somebody commented | |
| Today's plan, if you turned it on | In the morning, at the hour you chose — it opens the card on I dag |
| A new version is out | Administrators only, once per version |
Not your own actions: the server does not tell anybody what they just did themselves. And not everything that happens — a bell that rings at every change in a shared project is a bell people stop looking at.
Repeat edits are folded. A note is saved on every typing pause, so one person writing for five minutes would otherwise be twenty identical lines. While the message is unread, a further edit moves it back to the top and says who touched it last. Once you have read it, the next edit is a new thing to be told.
Push, and the badge
Settings → Beskeder turns on Web Push for the device you are sitting at, per device: the phone in your pocket and the laptop you have open are different answers, and a permission granted on one is not the other's.
The badge — the number on the icon in the Dock on a Mac, on the taskbar on a PC — needs the app to be installed (added to the Dock, or installed as an app in Chrome or Edge). Half the point of being told is being told while you are doing something else, and the icon is the only place the app can say anything then. It counts unread messages and goes down by itself as you read them. Firefox does not support it; nothing else changes there.
The sentence you see is written in your browser from what happened and who did it, so an English interface gets an English bell. The server's own wording is Danish and is used only for push, which has no dictionary to look a phrase up in.
Telling you about a new version
If the update check is on, administrators get one notification per version — never one a day about the same one — and it leads to Settings → Beskeder, where the button that restarts the instance to update it sits. With the check off, nothing is fetched and nothing is said.
