Browsing past notifications by date?

until notifications in the system are revamped, there’s probably not a great way to look things up this way in system, but the API offers a slightly more targeted way to get the information – at least for notifications that affect individual observations, such as identifications and comments.

you can use this page to help you get information from the API in more human-friendly interface: https://forum.inaturalist.org/t/is-there-an-easy-way-to-open-all-notifications/25913/35.
