## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: web-framework, middleware
- domain: web-development, backend, developer-tools
- platform: python
- tags: django, notifications, activity-stream, inbox, web-server
