I took a look at the project you mentioned Now I don t write notification bots every day but I don t quite see the problem From what I see There must be exactly one edit per notification can t get away with less and I don t know why you would need more The bot should parse a bit in advance the list of notifications sort them chronologically and decide how to wiggle each of them by little so that there is no time instance with too many of them If there are too many notifications in a given interval of time which can t be distributed in a sparse manner it should sound the alarm If a user wants too many notifications he she should be kicked in the butt If the number of users of this service really goes up nothing will help Did I miss anything
