Inbox Redesign

[Huddie]

This comes from the #2177 thread.

Just thoughts on improving the inbox.

Related Issues:

• Updated icons Filter icon instead of 3 dots #2177
• Possible removal or replacement of speaker icon reason here also works well with Subscribe/Unsubscribe #2482
• Githubs Issue Dashboard feature Issue Dashboard #2413 which aids in Your Issues/Pull Requests #1265, View Participating Threads #2065, Allow filtering notifications by Participating/Mentioned #2272
• Displaying the author Display Author in Inbox view #1885
• Grouping repos in the inbox allowing for additional actions such as read all for a specfic repo etc Group inbox by repo and additional interactions when viewing all notifications  #2411

We should try to think about #620, this is where we redesigned away from complexity.
In the past Ryan has thrown a few design out to the twitterverse to see what people liked. I think that makes sense here as well.

@kocheck will hopefully mock up a few designs. If anyone has thoughts or suggestions comment away!

Just a quick update from #2413 to keep things up to date here.

Ryan suggested using the navigation bar drop down that we see throughout the app in the inbox and when you click it your presented with a context menu where you can select different inbox modes.

Modes being:

• Master list
• Notifications
• Assigned
• Mentioned
• etc

A new request would go out with each reload of the inbox since we wouldn’t be doing intense filtering in-app (GitHub’s api allows for a filter parameter)

@rnystrom currently drop down opens action sheet, context menu would be different from the norm.
Do we mind? Do we want to switch all action sheets to context menu (as maybe a later goal)?

Menu would give us a ton more options w/ the UI (icons, selection indicator, section headers, etc)

Open to considering large titles for inbox too

[kocheck]

Design should also consider how issue #2473 would affect this screen as well 👍
