ZBook uses websockets to push notifications to users, covering various aspects such as system, repository, followers, and comments. System notifications are primarily sent by the system or administrators. For repositories, if another user (User A) follows a user (User B), User A will receive a notification if User B creates a visible repository. Similarly, follower notifications inform User B when someone (User A) follows them. Comment notifications alert User A when another user (User B) comments on User A's repository or comments under User A's posts.
Currently, when a new user registers, they receive a welcome system notification containing a link with usage instructions. Additionally, administrators can send system notifications. Specifically, administrators can click to create a new system notification in their user sidebar, fill in the details in the popup, and confirm.
