I don't really like getting notified for every validated square. But I would like some interface where I can query certain stuff.
* Query the tiles I worked on * Query the tiles I commented on * Query the tiles I set to "Done" * Query the tiles I (in)validated And then also some filters I could apply, like I could only see the validated tiles I marked as "Done" to see those comments.
