Hi guys,

Wanted to add one for your ongoing development of comments and the activity stream also discussed here:

> [@\[APPROVED\] Activity Stream](https://community.fibery.io/t/activity-stream/109):
>
> A dedicated page for all key user activities aggregated from user selectable “spaces”. What type of activities get listed can be configurable. Any @mentions should be highlighted too in this activity feed.

One small piece that is very helpful is when you are reading through the activity stream, including all updated entities, comments, @mentions to you, to be able to quickly respond by adding follow-up comments right inline in this activity area. I’m referring to this modal:

I’d like to congratulate you guys as the UI here is very nice, although I think rather thin on functionality at the moment! But that’s OK, since as with a host of other features I am guessing you will think this is a sensible one, as it’s standard with a lot of other work management apps.

@Shafqat_Ullah curious if you agree this is a pretty fundamental feature to bring in as soon as Michael and team can get to it?

Cheers guys!

I think this is an excellent idea and a very important need indeed!

Great @Shafqat_Ullah, good to hear from you, thank you for responding! I’m sure the team also is working on this

I am just starting to use comments heavily on a new project with a new collaborator, and man, it is _not_ (yet) a great experience, especially with the notifications/activity links! I am definitely in support of this idea here and/or at least the activity link going to _the specific comment on the page and opening it so I can see the context and reply_. ~~As it is it just takes me to the page and I have to find (among 20+ different comment threads) where that reply is so I can deal with it. Very frustrating.~~

Correction/update: the links in the Notifications stream don’t work only when you are _already on the page being linked to_. Which in itself is a highly annoying issue. I’ve filed a bug here: [Issues with usability of Notifications for in-line comments](https://community.fibery.io/t/issues-with-usability-of-notifications-for-in-line-comments/1290)

I just responded to you over in the other thread, but I have to say in a funny way glad to see you posting about these annoyances - although not glad they are hindering you! We have tons of problems with this. I just onboarded a contractor developer and he simply writes comments in Entities, which he’s used to doing in stuff like Jira, Trello, etc. and does not remember to @mention the supervisor each and every time he posts, otherwise we don’t know he commented. The lack of [Activity Stream](https://community.fibery.io/t/approved-activity-stream/109) means you have no place to look to see what has been going in across Fibery, either.

I really hope the team puts Notifications as a higher priority as I really feel deep down that most Product Teams are going to see this as a fundamental missing feature. I know I already got denied in another thread when I tried to push for this and was told “it’s not even in our top 20” but I feel like Michael & co need to step up and invoke some product vision and get this stuff done. I am adamant about this because my team is borderline not able to use Fibery after going “all in” the last 6 months due to these limitations. A real shame as the whole rest of the product is, a we frequently discuss, amazing.

Cheers!
