@JoonasIlmavirta I have it installed but I'm at a computer so much I don't use it frequently. It is nice for notifications, though. I also get notifications to my apple watch, but I don't recall off the top of my head if that's because an app specifically for the watch or not.
@Adam Does the app do notifications? I can't remember anymore, but I must have switched it off. This is one of the many things, alongside email, where want to actively check and not be notified. But it's good if they cater to different preferences.
@JoonasIlmavirta It does, but if you don't see them I'd assume you have that disabled in your iOS notification preferences (or Android if you use that). The notifications are really only useful for your own content or other content you've engaged with along with chat.
I still check the site here and there during the day since there are no notifications for new posts. I'm not sure if you can turn on notifications for things flagged to moderators. That would be nice if it did, though.
@Adam The app doesn't have any of the moderator tools. It sometimes happens that I see something that requires action on my phone and then switch to the computer to act.
@Adam I think you can select "favorite" or "followed" tags on the front page. I'm not sure if it leads to any notifications, though.
@Adam Hmm... It might make sense to have FAQ posts on meta about "what are favourite tags?" and "what can I do and not do on the app?". There might be versions on other metas and especially the main meta, but having some things covered on our meta briefly with links to additional information would be useful.
@Adam And with four candidates I think it's paying off to have the meta questionnaire and the automatic summary on the election page. Those give a good quick summary of each one.
@Adam Very few countries have a binary choice in their elections anyway, mind you.
If you go to the "election" phase tab of the election page, it gives you some details. But it's pretty clear when the voting starts; you get to put as many candidates as you like in order.
In a nutshell, the two candidates with most votes get the post. There's just a system of transferring the votes to your next preferences if the result is certain (your choice is either certainly in or certainly out).
@Adam It is! I've seen many SE elections, but this one is different for a couple of reasons: I'm an old moderator, and this is a community I really care about.
And it's great that people get to have a proper choice. Extending the nomination period was a good call from SE.
@JoonasIlmavirta I very much agree that extending the nomination phase was a good idea. I felt uncomfortable with proceeding without actual votes from site members.
