Notification system

Adding a notification system sparked a debate in the team about the notification badge colour.

Did you know that there is a legitimate phobia of having those little red notification badges that pop up on your smart phone? Some call it Notification Badge Anxiety Disorder.

Red is a color associated with urgency and importance. Designers have leveraged this psychological response by using red notification badges to grab attention. However, the constant presence of these red badges can lead to anxiety. Our brains are wired to respond to stimuli, making it challenging to ignore the red notifications and causing us to feel overwhelmed.
