UI Tip: Group Background Job Toasts Into One — but Never Hide Errors
jonathan_wilke · x · 2026-10-12
Developer @keviduke shares a small UI tip (amplified by @jonathanwilke): three background jobs don't need three toasts — group them into one with a count, keep per-channel status a hover away. Progress can collapse; errors shouldn't: show failures immediately with a retry.
The amplifier notes how fortunate a developer is to afford this level of detail.
