The Litter Tray

Feature

Notifications

Only the alerts worth a look, each linked to what it's about.

You're told when a viewer on probation comments, a name pattern matches, a hold goes through, automation pauses, or something needs a look. An alert about a comment or a viewer opens straight onto it.

The path

How it works

  1. Watch the unread badge

    The signed-in header shows when the shared tray has unread notices.

  2. Open Notifications

    Each notice says what happened and when.

  3. Open the source

    Opening a linked notice marks it read and takes you to its saved destination.

  4. Tidy the list

    Dismiss a row or use Mark all as read; older notices remain paginated.

Built by a creator, for his own channel first

I built the moderator my own channel needed.

Hey friends, I'm Mike. My channel grew to 50,000 subscribers, and the comments grew well past 50,000 with it. No one creator can read every comment at that size. I really valued the community that built up around my channel, but the volume and intensity of comments was overwhelming.

When the trolls started taking over the time I wanted to spend with the lovely community around my channel, I dusted off the toolkit and built The Litter Tray around the rules and restraint I wanted near my own audience. I want creators to be able to get set up in seconds, spend a few minutes setting the rules that matter to them, and make persistent trolls much harder to miss, so they can get back to making videos.
