Summary
Add support for "Notification on Post" functionality, similar to Mastodon and Misskey's feature where users can opt-in to receive notifications whenever a specific account publishes new content.
Motivation
- Users who want to use Hackerspub as a newsletter subscription management service need a way to get notified when followed accounts publish new content.
- Users who want to closely follow people of interest should be able to opt-in to notifications for specific accounts, rather than relying on manually checking their timeline.
- This is a well-established pattern in the fediverse (Mastodon's "bell" icon on profiles, Misskey's similar feature) and users coming from those platforms will expect it.
Scope
This feature should cover notifications for:
- Notes (short-form posts)
- Articles (long-form posts)
Context
- Relevant area: Notification system, follow/subscription management, ActivityPub integration
- Prior art: Mastodon's "Notify me when this person posts" bell toggle on profile pages, Misskey's equivalent feature
