A reusable Django app that provides GitHub-style notifications for users, derived from django-activity-stream. It models notification events with actor, verb, action object, and target components using generic foreign keys.

Use cases

• add user notifications to a Django app
• build an inbox of unread notifications like GitHub
• notify users when someone comments on their post
• track actions performed on Django model objects
• send notification when a user is mentioned

When to choose

• you need GitHub-style per-user notifications in Django
• you want a drop-in Django app with models, views, and URLs for notifications
• you need notifications tied to arbitrary Django models via generic foreign keys

When to avoid

• you need activity feeds or news streams rather than notifications (use django-activity-stream)
• you need push notifications to mobile devices or external channels like email/SMS
• your project is not built on Django
