Love this post, @HereBeBeasties I think you’ve hit it all perfectly! Particularly agree with this comment below:

> [@HereBeBeasties](#):
>
> “{Name} was updated” _really_ doesn’t cut it for us

that creates a lot of lost benefit as the user has to click in to see what actually happened, instead of seeing at a glance the update.

And this is extremely well-said and one of my ongoing pain points, glad to hear some other voices around this. In fact very similar to the conversation we’re having over [here](https://community.fibery.io/t/new-template-reminders/2934)

> [@HereBeBeasties](#):

> notifications are honestly the biggest drawback to using Fibery over other ticketing/planning tools for us and very nearly made us not buy the product.

this highlights where I think Fibery is really missing out, and continues to be difficult for my team - the lack of evolved “typical” features you’d see in other more well-known tools, such as notifications, comments, easily configurable activity dashboard, more robust search (showing at least which entities are “done”), mobile friendly versions, etc. I really like this comment in that thread I just quoted from @Oshyan:

> [@Lack of Work Management features in Fibery (Reminders, Dependencies, Notifications, My Work, etc.)](https://community.fibery.io/t/lack-of-work-management-features-in-fibery-reminders-dependencies-notifications-my-work-etc/3319/5):

After all that is where Fibery _currently_ excels.

How much is Fibery missing out without these features? I have been here since Oct. 2019 and the growth of users seems much slower to me than it should be given how superior Fibery is to so many other tools in so many ways. I recently got into the [superlist.com](http://superlist.com) beta ahead of the regular queue, and this involved an interview with a Project Manager there, had never heard of Fibery. I feel like by this point most people in the space should have heard of Fibery, and maybe that would be the case if more of these features were developed and Fibery was indeed less clunky!

Appreciate your support of better notifications!
