Apologies if this feature already exists, but it would be great to be able to receive notifications when people ask questions on our projects.

It doesn’t but it has already been well requested by others too, and it’s definitely something we’re keen to support.

What is the current method now, just visit your project page to see questions?
later today we’ll have glitch.com and glitch.com/helping auto fetch the latest projects. We’re thinking about allowing ppl to opt in to getting web notifications when new questions come in, but we’re not sure if that’s mostly relevant to platform providers like yourself or a thing normal ppl would want to do too. (determining this will help us figure out the best place for this feature to live)
the endpoint for glitch questions is https://api.glitch.com/projects/questions, so you can build a custom solution off that in the meantime (let us know if you do!)

All of this sounds great. From the community end, I’d love to be able to follow whatever project I’d like (not just mine) and even tags to help more generally.

@pketh: looks like there are 2 requests to the API endpoint instead of 1 (helping.coffee is loaded in 2 places)

Hi folks, didn’t know this was already a feature request.
But I’ve made a simple hack to send notifications when there are new questions!
After enabling the notification you can click on messages to take you to the glitch project that needs help.
You have to leave the window/tab open, it’s not yet running on webworkers.
