-## Phase 2 — Engagement & reach
-*Test v0.1.7 on Windows first. Fix any issues before starting.*
+## Phase 2 — Engagement & reach ✓ COMPLETE
 
-### 5. Notifications
-- No way to see mentions, replies to own notes, or incoming DMs without manually checking
-- Badge on the messages nav item for unread DMs
-- Notifications view: mentions of your pubkey, replies to your notes, new DMs
-- System notification (OS native) for DMs and mentions — Tauri has a notification plugin
+*Shipped in v0.1.11.*
 
-### 6. NIP-65 outbox model (relay lists, kind 10002)
-- Without NIP-65, we miss notes from people who publish to their own relay set
-- On profile open: fetch their kind 10002 relay list, query those relays for their notes
-- On publish: write to own relay list (configurable in settings)
-- Dramatically improves note discovery and reach
-
-### 7. Feed reply context
-- In the feed, replies look identical to top-level posts — no visual distinction
-- Show "↩ replying to @name" above the note content for kind-1 events with `e` tags
-- Clicking the context navigates to the parent note thread
-
-### 8. Keyboard shortcuts
-- A writing-focused desktop app should be keyboard-navigable
-- N — compose new note, R — reply to focused note, / — focus search
-- J/K — navigate feed up/down, Escape — close modal/back
-- Show shortcuts in a `?` help overlay
+- ✓ **Feed reply context** — "↩ replying to @name" shown above reply notes; click to open parent thread
+- ✓ **NIP-65 outbox model** — fetch user relay lists (kind 10002) for better note discovery; "Publish relay list" button in Settings; profile notes fetched via write relays
+- ✓ **Notifications** — mentions view with unread badge; 🔔 nav item in sidebar; badge clears on view
+- ✓ **DM unread badge** — messages nav item shows badge count; clears when conversation opened
