Feedback and Suggestions for Mobile Watchlist Accessibility and Functionality
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

I recently heard that mobile watchlist had launched and was excited to try it. Thanks for working on this! Here's a couple pieces of feedback to consider:

-It's basically impossible to discover the existence of watchlist in the apps when it's buried two layers deep under Settings. This is the wrong place in the app's information architecture to put a tool that you might check every day. I know the main tabs of the app are reader-oriented and this is good, but there are a number of ways I could imagine making watchlist more accessible to editors...

  1. put a card in Today view on Explore that calls out how many new edits are within your watchlist
  2. opt-in push notifications with a daily batch of unseen edits (you could send a notification telling users who have the app installed and who have non-empty watchlists that this is available)
  3. let me customize my tabs (I know this is probably a heavy eng lift). For instance I never use Places and would much prefer to have a main watchlist tab.
