I have created a Django application where users are able to post, comment, and like each other's activity. I am now implementing sending out notifications when one user comments on another user's post, and I am able to do that using django-notifications. Although it is not as modular as I would like it to be, it gets the job done. Example of notification (views.py):
from notifications.signals import notify
...
notify.send(sender=request.user, recipient=post.user, verb='commented on your post', target=post)
I would like to send out notifications like "n users liked your post" (similar to Facebook notifications) and don't know how to do that. However, I found that django-notifications is rather outdated and I am considering whether I should switch to pinax-notifications if that package could help me out with this issue (tracking the change in the number of likes since recipient's last log in). How can I solve this?
