Background

• We didn't get as much usage over the last semester as we anticipated and hypothesize that this is because the icon is getting visually lost in the interface
• We're hoping that by creating a small distinguishing circle (mimicking a notification) in the top right bar above the icon will draw on the experience of our users with addressing social media icons and achieve the proper amount of traffic
• We don't want to overburden the user or create any alert fatigue, and expect to be able to turn this functionality on-and-off when the need arises.

New Features

• Add optional notification-indicator to visually highlight the top-bar button
• 'Dismiss' the notification-indicator for a customizable amount of time (default 2 weeks) once the user opens
