Inbox filtering

Filter your inbox to show unread items or conversations needing a response.

Your notification inbox just got more useful. You can now filter to show only what needs your attention.

This is a live demo. You can view this page on our live demo site, too.

Click the filter button in the header to choose between three views:

  • All: Everything in your inbox (the default)
  • Unread: Only notifications you haven't seen yet
  • Needs response: Conversations where a subscriber is waiting for your reply

That last one is especially handy if you get a lot of reader emails. No more scrolling through old threads to find the ones that still need a response.

The filter stays in your URL, so you can bookmark /inbox?filter=needs_response for quick access to your to-do list of replies.

As always, feedback welcome.

Buttondown is the last email platform you’ll switch to.
