It would be good if the Discussion overview “All Discussions” automatically refreshes when new discussions are posted by students. If this would also in some way change the icon and title in the browser, TAs can react even quicker. This way assistants can simply have the tab open and immediately see if a new discussion requires handling.

Current method: Refresh the page at a semi-regular interval and try not to forget to do so ;)

Context: For the Algorithmics course we have bi-weekly deadlines on Sunday with the promise to provide support on the day of the deadline as well. It would be great if we get notified about new discussions, rather than having to poll the system every x minutes.
